:: Comments ::
++++++++++ EVERYONE :: “Well I must say these were all gorgeous I love them all! It was really hard to choose between them. You all amaze me! ” –Elven Archer

++++++++++ PANDORA :: “Oh my goodness! It's so prettyful! I love the color, and all the different pictures makes it incredible! And the placement of the text and font is wonderful too.” –Elven Archer
“Nice blending. The colors go really well with the theme ” –Gilraen Ringeril
“I love the pictures used and the colors. The blending is amazing!!” –ViviElessar
“fantastic colors and blending” –Zandain
“The blending on this is wonderful! It does appear to create a mask over the blend with the ability to hide some pictures partially and not have everything appear to be fully visible.” –smeagollum

++++++++++ CAUNION THE FROSTLORD :: “Oh my! He look really evil, I'm sorry. (is that V for Vendetta?) Anyway, it looks spectacular Caunion, I love the colors. Although the text looks a little funny lined up the way it is, but otherwise it's awesome!” –Elven Archer
“Cool use of textures and images! The only thing I'd change is to blend the text in more with the blend ” –Gilraen Ringeril
“I will have to say that I love your coloring and use of textures the best. The blend itself really will just "pop out" at someone. Great Job!” -smeagollum

++++++++++ FIRIEL :: “I love it! The lady looks reall cool with her very pretty mask and the background texture is awesome. Very simple and very pretty! ” –Elven Archer
“I love that pic you used on the left side!! I think it could be a bit better blended though - make the colors of the whole piece match, and blend the text more ” –Gilraen Ringeril
“those eyes mezmerize me” –Zandain
“Awesome! I love the picture you used, and the background right along with it! Great Job!” -smeagollum

++++++++++ ~RINIELARANEL~ :: “Wow...just wow! All the colors and pictures and textures and brushes and fonts and words and......it's awesome! (and its PotO, how could it be bad?)” –Elven Archer
“Beautiful blending! I really like the color scheme However, the texture distracts from the pictures a bit, so I would make it less...obvious ” –Gilraen Ringeril
“I am going to take the endeavor to assume that you like Phatom of the Opera. Am I right? Yes, to comment, great job! I really like how most of the blend you can pick out little portions of it, but the only real place you can see clearly in the bottom left corner. Great masking.” -smeagollum

++++++++++ FOREVERFRODO :: “Oh I love the Anakin theme! Very creative! And it's so well blended and the texture looks awesome! I love the text too! Tis awesome!” –Elven Archer
“I love it! The section of lyrics that used really works well with the images. And I love the blending and texture use!!” –Gilraen Ringeril
“I remember when I first looked at your blend I immediately was amazed at the idea that you could use Darth Vader for that. You did a great job in blending and such, but I really much applaud you in thinking out of the box.” -smeagollum

++++++++++ MAETHARANEL :: “*gapes* Oooooh! So pretty! I love the picture. They mask is just...just...I want it! And your style is awesome, and the text is so cool and I love it so much!;)” –Elven Archer
“That picture you used is so beautiful and amazing!! It's perfect for the theme! The only thing I thought could be improved was the text - it was a little hard to read ” –Gilraen Ringeril
“It looks simple and it works! I like the font and the picture used.” –ViviElessar
“repeats and dissolving picture, beautiful details” –Zandain
“The photo is wonderful, and the way you were able to manipulate it throughout is awesome! Keep it up! -smeagollum

+++++++++++ ROSE OF RIVENDELL :: “Oh another very creative idea! I wish I was half as creative as you guys! Anway, the blendind is nice, and I like the red color, although it's very sad....but awesome all the same! ” –Elven Archer
“Beautiful, unique images! I always love a little Eowyn I'd up the brightness & contrast a bit more though =)” –Gilraen Ringeril
“Ohh! Eowyn! That is a wonderful idea! Also, to get a great blend to go along with it, Miranda must feel blessed.” -smeagollum

+++++++++++ ANIME _ GIRL :: “Ooh, I'm not too fond of Anime, but it looks cool! I especially like the blue coloring. The blendind could be better, but I like the words all the way around it. Excellent job!” –Elven Archer
“Those pictures are so sweet and cute! I would blend the text a little more though ” –Gilraen Ringeril
“Very individualistic! Sailor Moon! I can guarantee you I wouldn't have thought of that! Great Job!” -smeagollum

+++++++++++ JOHNNY'S FAN :: “Ooooooh! I loveses it so much! Okay if you think you weren't inpired, I'm jealous and want to see what happens when you are inspired! Anyway, it's totally awesome...with the colors, coolio text and....it's PotO! ” –Elven Archer
“Wow! Gorgeous blending and coloring! I love the feel of it! The only thing I'd change is the black border (it stands out too much from the brightness of the piece) and the black/grey/dark edges around the text (I'd make them less obvious if possible) ” –Gilraen Ringeril
“I think this one really captured the essence of the song. The colors used are great and the blending works perfectly.” –ViviElessar
“Very beautiful and professional. The blending you did is amazing! I am taking that you like Phantom of the Opera, also. Great Job, once again! -smeagollum

+++++++++++ SHADOWCAT :: “*dies of laughter* I'm sorry, but that is such a cute/funny picture! *laughs some more* I love it! And I especially like how you did the contrast of black and white, to color. It gives it a nice touch. Totally awesome! ” –Elven Archer
“Very cute!! I might have used a 'fancier' font though ” –Gilraen Ringeril
“I didn't believe that it was actually a dog at first... and then I laughed and thought, "Perfect, Perfect, so perfect." Great job and awesome blend!” -smeagollum

+++++++++++ MORWEN ANDURIL :: “Oh the colors are so pretty! *stares* And it's very unique how you didn't blend it at all, it's just two pictures, yet it looks so good. Love the style, love the font....just love it!” –Elven Archer
“Yours is AMAZING!! The pictures are perfect, the coloring is superb, and the different fonts work really really well!! Great job!” –Gilraen Ringeril
“Love the colors and the blending. Also the pictures used look different.” –ViviElessar
“the softness of the colors, almost antique” –Zandain
“Wow! That is amazing! I love how the pictures aren't really together and have a clear breaking point... great job!” -smeagollum

+++++++++++ THENIDIEL :: “Oh like the style of this one, with the pictures surrounding the text. And I like the textures on it too. Lovely! ” –Elven Archer
“I love the coloring and layout of your piece! I'd just make the text less obvious, or with a 'fancier' font ” –Gilraen Ringeril
“Very Very Professional. The boxes and such make the picture look like it could be a site layout.. Very Awesome and Great Job!” -smeagollum

The Gary Jules/Michael Andrews one is way better though.

*Is excited* I love this song!

I agree, the Gary Jules/Michael Andrews cover is spectacular. They turned the song into something completely different from what it was
