A very big congratulations to all the winners! Awesome work!
Looking forward to the next competition.I hope to improve my Photoshop skills more.
Perhaps in addition to announcing the results, judges could provide us also with insights and tips for areas of improvement in general.
Personally, after spending a lot of time staring my own entry, I find that I can no longer look at my own work and find any good or bad. I guess that happens when you look at your own work for too long.

If you want some advice from an old dog, the trick to being able to look at your own work and judge it is to make sure you completely understand what you're trying to say with the image. An image needs to tell a story, and in the case of a commissioned illo, or a contest entry, it needs to interpret and satisfy the brief. It's ultimately all about communication.
So, 1) Work out and understand what you need to say with the image (ask yourself the why's, what for's, who's the target, how best to communicate with the target etc).
2.) Work out a concept that tells the story.
3). Decide what elements, colour palette, graphic style etc you need to convey the concept... and remember that what you leave out is often as important as the elements you put in.
If you've got a clear direction in your head of the story you're telling, that will automatically allow you to make snap judgements on everything you do as you work your way through the image creating process. You can only judge something if you have a fixed point to judge from.
There, if you didn't want advice from an old dog, just pretend you didn't just read all that. :-)
...maybe this might help you(i found it on the web not so long ago)! http://elbowroomdesign.com/musings/6...raphic-design/
