Congrats for first place.

Great concept, but a bit too heavy on the filter effects, especially the poster edges. You might try painting the dark artifacts out a bit more.

I really like it! At first glance I though it was from one source because it blends so well. nice job

Yeah I definitely overdid it with filter effects haha.
I spent too much time on trying to get the different levels of photo quality to match up and used filters as a way out. But hey, not bad for a first entry.
And thanks, Bryonics!

When images like this are taken to a printer (with proper resolution) a giant banner comes out super great.. good luck author.. nice image (looks like a History Channel Episode)

Good idea -- Curtain on the left needs some adjustment to the lighting as it now has equal brightness across its width so it seem too flat --some dodge and burn would give it some depth

Also the bottom edge IMHO would look better if it was not cut off straight across
