excellent job author

Looks great!

Perfect!

I think you did a great job here.

good job, looks nice and neat, very convincing as well goodluck author.

There's a slight green line on the clone to the far left, on her back but you could fix it with color replacement tool, where the Healing brush it. Other than that, it's pretty neatly chopped. GL!

I tried to go back and fix the green line on her back. It wasn't from the chop, that was the original image I used (as the background). Possibly from using a point and shoot digital camera that is a few years old. For some reason the grey to black contrast between the shirt and parking lot made a ghostly green line appear.

.... Ha Ha I just found the color correction brush and it worked. Thank you for pointing that out! I looks a ton better now

It's a handy little tool at times. Looks perfect now. GL!

Nice work

Congrats!

Very well done, congrats on your win!

congrats

congrats

Congrats!!

Congrats Abby...

Congratulations!

nice one

Well done, looks good.

Very realistic outcome! Well done

nice on e -- always great to see my favourite aircraft -- brings back memories of my very first flight with my father at the controls and me as "Copilot" age about 5 or 6

Nice job! A Gooney Bird as they were called. If you'd like to add a little smoke it would add a touch of realism, but that is not really needed.

Very realistic ... simple and elegant representation of the theme! Great work!

Very very nice movement effect author...100% realistic...well done

Really nicely done author! Good luck!

awesome work - Very realistic

Very cool, nice effects.

Well done very realistic you have my vote author.

it's about time they close the door at the back and that they take away the blocks at the left wheel. Otherwise it will make circles!

excellent.

Congrats!

congrats for ur second place

Congrats

Congrats!!!

Congrats for your second place, Abby!

Congrats!!

I think you did a fine job.

It's a little hard to see the ones inside. Maybe have passenger with a raised (alarmed) hand/arm. But, very good job

I agree with kyricom; maybe the ones inside could argue outside the car...

very very cool work author...like the ride so much...

Thank you erathion. I love that freaking car hard to find them in good shape!

Just terrific author .. try the dodge tool set on a light highlight setting to see if you can get the definition of the two passengers clearer.. (It's absolutely fine the way it is, but the expressions on the peeps in the car are great!!)

EDIT: GREAT improvement.. I can see them much better and I didn't even have to go to high res.. great job!!!!

@ Drivenslush The highlight tool added too much blue due to the casting on the windshield. I instead tweaked the levels as well as the exposure and came up with something a little better, at least now you can see the expressions a little better. Thanks for the headsup!

Nice job

I think this was taken from a sweet dream I had the other night !!!!

Congrats again...nice week for u Abby...

Their kid looks like Amy Smart

Ha, didn't see it before but there is a resemblance. I honestly think she looks better this way though and completely realistic.

Nice one = )

I think the eyes need a little more blending - color+bright (really small amount). The rest is good, nice blending and she looks strange :P

Wow, looks like a woman scourned to me, well done

Nice work

Nicely done. One suggestion would be to make the dripping more random, it looks too uniformed at the moment.

I agree with solkee, maybe have the drips larger, too. other than that, it looks like real chocolate syrup! yum!

I agree with solkee.. also, the spherical droplets would have highlights (just like the edges of the choco car have).. Now your droplets look flat.. good luck

Very nice base effect,major chocolate part is amazing,and well done for that,but u have to work more on droplets...made them to leak all over the front part,over the car sign,and maybe even on the street and create some puddle there,it would be shame that u great effect like this u don't exploit...and also,maybe u could use some color adjustment layers...good luck

Solkee, goobymook, hsbee, and erathion Thank you for the critique! I think I have made it quite a bit better, I changed the highlights and lowlights as well as the droplets so that they looked a little more realistic. I also wanted more variance between drops so that they weren't all identical. I also added a few color adjustment layers and a vibrance layer.

The whole time I was working on this my step daughter was eating a giant bar of dark chocolate (for a visual aid ).

Unfortunatly I did decide not to go with a puddle under the car at this time, however I'm not giving up on it. I've just been at this one picture for 15 hours and I need to take a break and think. Personally I'm ecstatic at how well it has turned out at this point

Nice Work, but i think that you can improve the drippings more. They still look quit flat. GL

It`s nice but maybe if you put a tong to the car can be funny !

Nice job auther

awesome! looks much better, and even yummier before! ....i think i'll go into my chocolate stash now and....indulge... ;D

good idea

You're not too anonymous when you just used the same source image in a previous contest. This is the ONLY picture you had of your car?

Congrats!

Congrats!!

Congrats for second place ! Miam...

Congrats!
