You've brought the outside...in. Or vice-versa. Really cool work here!

This has wonderful depth to it and reveals itself to you in multiple layers. On face value its a very eye catching image, but it rewards continued viewing. The sheep are wonderful of course, but the thing I especially love is the way the stepped grass gives an illusion of deep distance on the ground plane, yet the cloud walls constrain this and fight with this dimensionally and tell us something different. This keeps me looking at ths image. Great work!

I like this for the most part. The shadows need some work though. Use the tree's or the girl's shadows as a starting point and find out where the sun would be, then use perspective to pin point how the other shadows will be cast. The Eye in the window doesn't seem to fit too well either. Maybe it's just me though.

This was actually one of my first photomanipulations, so it has a few rough spots. 
As for the eye, it does look slightly askew, but it's really just the way that the eye was shaped. There's a small black part in the upper corner of the bottom left pane that doesn't look like it matches up with the other section, but in the actual stock image, it does. I debated when working with this whether or not to try to artificially recreate a "connection", but ultimately decided against it. Other than that, the feeling of the eye not "fitting in" is intentional - that is, the pictures is meant to be a person looking into a window. And if you've ever tried to look into a dollhouse for yourself, it's kinda hard to see through the pane. 
Thanks for your feedback and critique, though! I really appreciate it!

No worries. It's pretty damn good for your first manip, that is for sure. I also understand how it is to not keep the psd file. My first year of college was a lot of lost work. But, that stuff was horrible anyway and I learned an important lesson. Always save! Nice work.

I like how the sheep blend in with the clouds. The colors, texture, and composition are all lovely. The eye looks very vivid and stands out, but not too much. I think the window was the perfect place for it.

You a genius! Perhaps an evil genius, but a genius none the less. This piece is extraordinaire. Thank you so much for sharing.

You're the first to expose my evil plan...

really intesting concept, i love the fact that you can really see that that isnt a real place, making it so obvious its a dream.
And the eye...makes it look much more meaninful and philosophique ( probably mispelled lol) there are a lot of interpretations for this.
awesome job

very, very creative . you have such an eye for artistic photos (I took a peek in your gallery and I saw so many fantastic photos there) but it would take me so much time to discuss and tell my opinion at every photo of yours . good job and good luck with your other projects as well .
