Again, great entry and a very good blend. Well done !

The blending job here is very convincing, author. If I could make one suggestion it would be to reverse the sky to match the apparent lighting source on the ground. The source pic is lit from the left, but the lion is shadowed on the left and the light source on the head statue is from the right also. Reversing the background(if possible) would make the light source come from the right for both.

nice work .............. all the best to u .............

love the idea of the image as a whole, its different. Only thing to me is the colouring, the front of the image is so vibrant yet the back of the image seems very dull. Maybe a tiny bit of saturation or contrast in the hills. Otherwise take some of the saturation out of the source image, not too much though

I wanted it to be dull ... Like something (clouds you cant see) is blocking the sun light and its making parts of the image darker and less colorfull than others...
Like when you are in a beach and there are clouds in the sky partly blocking the sun... Some parts look grey and others are vibrand with color
That was the idea anyway.

totally understand that author

nice work ......... all the best ..........

Very well done manipulation, looks good!

Added the screenshot of the written permission

great job here, very inspiring

Very cool. An SBS would be informative/instructive. I think having all of her hair splattering would be even more compelling.

This is really cool. Caught my eye right away. Agree with DanLundberg.

Awesomely done, I really like your brushes.
Besides what Dan said, an SBS about your brushes would prove that they are made by you, cause right now we have only your word.

Maybe I'm wrong about the method , I can guess you made them out of thresholded water splash, so if you could post the original pics, that would help.

very creative and trendy!

I can give the link to the brushes after the contest. Got em in my deviant art account for free download. I can't post it now without the danger of someone finding out who I am.
I have them for over a year now (i think) and i made them out of images from a free stock site. Anyway I ll Try to do a simple sbs

SbS added... telling the truth is a hard thing I guess.
It would be easier to say got the bruses from "that dude" at deviant art than this madness...

It reminds me of a incident i had a few years ago in photoshoptalent com because an explosion i made was too realistic and they didnt believe it was made out of clouds photos and brushes... Anyway . I hope that u are all satisfied now

great job! Glad you worked it out because I thought this was cool!

I get it, and I believe you author. If you think you might have problems with the mods ( hope not), redflag your own entry and give the link to your account on deviant saying these are my own brushes, DO NOT REMOVE ENTRY !!
That should work, and keep your anonymity as well.

nice job! the idea is pretty gruesome, did she get murdered in the woods?

I wouldn't know....
But i suppose she was killed in her house and then the killer moved her in the woods and then took that picture which I found in my hard drive...and then I posted it here... And thats the wholeeee truth ...
I had nothing to do with the murder i tell u

ohhhhh .... so cruel ....... i don't want to look at that image again ................ all the best to u author .............

It's almost... real... Nice murder, er... nice work, author!
