Sports, day

Your selections are a bit soft around the edges, especially around the legs and feet, but good idea, and good luck!

Nice work! You could have totally sold it if you put a good pair of sneakers on her GL

author says:

Thanks phubar - I never thought of that! I think she's a bit strapped for cash at the moment, if she wins she'll buy a pair of proper shoes with the prize money!

author says:

Thanks for the comment ponti55. I've sent you a private message - hope you don't mind. Thanks!

erikuri says:

I agree with ponti about your image extration; but it's a great and creative idea!
But looking at the original source (girl), she is under the sun; background image is a bit cloudy... and I suppose the girl casts a shadow on the sand.

author says:

erikuri, I have now posted my SBS. As you can see - there is NO shadow under the original girl that's why I didn't put one! I can do nothing at all (as far as I know) about the cloudy background image - that's the original untouched. I appreciate your comments - keep them coming...

Great idea! I also agree that the masking is a bit soft. I would suggestion using the pen tool to extract and then blurring the mask afterwards to taste. Good luck!
