lol i like his expression good job !

If the notion is that the UFO caused the destruction, then the neatly cut tree stump doesn't fit. The shadows on the alien aren't consistent with those on the stump. The UFO seems tilted downward (vanishing point much too high for this Earthling's predisposition). The top edge of the UFO doesn't seem realistic because it's so strong.

cute concept

Dan, simply those aliens are moron because they landed on a wrong place, without humans around...

DanLundberg made some good points.

The transparency effect is inconsistent.

I can't believe! Birds turned into UFOs!...

Only you yourself!...

this is too cool, the fact that you did that with birds!! good imagination.

"High resolution photos are mandatory in this contest, even in hi-res people should have a hard time determining if the photo is fake or not..." I can go into high-res and see that this is obviously fake, but you nevertheless make a really cool picture. Nice one!

BWHAAA HAAA HAAA HAAAA.. CMYK deleted half of his compliment when he found out who I was.. OMG.. that kills me LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL... you're such a piece of something that passes through an alimentary canal.. and then goes flush.. OMG.. I'm dying here LOL.. whew.. I needed that CMYK.. My 2 year old nephew passed away two days ago and I thought I'd never laugh again.. I was so blue and sad so I turned to chopping as a way to relieve the pain.. but you stomped it out of me....thank you... LOLOLOL... ( and I know about your voting manipulations..... you have so much class LOL)

You know CMYK.. it's absolutely okay to admire my work.. I won't drop a house on you .. or steal your sister's ruby slippers LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

I think the funniest part is how you always yap about staying behind your comments.. and here you deleted it... hehehehehe.. thanks for the cheer... hahahaha

sorry.. had a lot of pent up angst over the death of my Nephew.. he's in heaven now.. and watching over me.. (and I truly believe he made this happen.. I was so sad.. my poor sister.. his grandma... I really didn't know where to turn except to start chopping in my grief)

there is nothing you can do to me now CMYK... I can now cast you aside... just like used toilet paper... put you are right where you belong... thanks again

(CMYK.. I'll DELETE this comment if you return the original compliment.. but this is such a deliberate attempt to corrupt the voting on your part that I'll keep it up... I know what you did on the other entries of mine from the past few weeks.. little birdies told me.. so it would behoove you to do the right thing).... LOL.. and by all means.. point out my Transparency and give me some KIND advice on how to fix them... if not.. .. then shut the hell up)

Author, I knew it was you when I made my initial comment...the deleted part was called sarcasm. Thanks again for another great psycho rant.
PS: "Little birdies"...ROFL.

your delay proves I was right.. LOL... (and I know your comment was sincere.. hehehe) I actually know how to add and subtract.. no thirteen votes pre comment..then 13 votes arrive and then comes the modification LOLOLOLOOL

I don't even remember what I wrote. Something like "This is incredible...no, really!" If that isn't sarcasm, what is?

keep up your uselessness.. you've made it into an art form... hehehehe.. and pull back on the Jbeam and cigarette's.. you are starting to slur (and lean off the beans.. I can smell you from Florida)

Keep up the lame rants.

Obvious over usage of the word lame... here's a new idea.. it's called a Thesauraus.. look under synonyms (just helping you with your creativity.. oh wait..you don't know what that is.. you can only source

Can I buy one of your Glass Jigsaw Puzzles?.. I'd like one with agates.. since I'm a recovering drugged out hippy.. LOL..

Going to Canada?

and I will be surprised if the mods delete any of these comments.. this is more entertaining then a cat in a room full of rocking chairs.. woo HOO

(quandary... cmyk didn't even take my Shut the Hell up advice... peculiar)

.. and don't worry CMYK.. I'd never have you banned over the manipulation of Votes thing.. you're too much fun to kick around LOL (great job at that by the way.. but you did make it a bit too obvious..you'll have to work on that) Your mistake was asking Newbies to follow your lead.. I have a habit of attracting them to the site.. and they like me.. even when I don't ask them for their pictures... ... that still unsettles me)

Just some kind advice CMYK... 15 will get you 20 (and you know exactly what I'm talking about)

i agree with author

again really?????? bwahahahahaha .. ok done... @ author this is exactly why I don't go to the beach... too bad it couldn't be a nudist beach.. oooh and you should add people running..... away possibly..... ya I won't go there lol

You know I am going to have too agree with pearlie,erikuri, Jellopudding, gamemastertips, and razor on this

Author,I have two words for you: paranoid and delusional.

that's three words dear... AND is a word... amazes me you were once a teacher.. those poor poor children.. sigh.. damage done.. lots of therapy.. LOLOLOL

Okay author now you're just sounding immature =.=

gamemastertips.. the only way to communicate with CMYK is to be immature.. he's not much above a D level


EDIT: gamemastertips.. please don't become one of CMYK's minions.. I don't want to see you go down the route of the dark side.. I already lost Ponti55.. I'd hate to see you be next

BEHAVE RAZOR.. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ENJOY THIS.. oh wait a minute yes you are.. LOL.. you know all about CMYK's game LOLOL.. corruption of another youth.. OH THE HUMANITY.. oops.. ah crap.. soiled my self LOLOLOLOLOOL

Ooookay...don't worry...I take people's sides only if I agree with them. Right now, I have no bloody clue who to agree with. O.o

gamemastertips.. TRUST NO ONE.. especially peeps like the egg head.. they have a tendency to look all soft and friendly.. then they turn out to be something from the MOVIE ... THE THING.. (Why did the have to use a Malamute... WAAAAAHHHHHH).. oh yeah.. and if Egg Head asks you for your picture.. don't give him one.. he'll return it to you all sticky... (okay that was immature.. but very very funny)

You're even more demented than usual.

Lol sorry this conversation is just hilarious...

LMAO!!!!!!!! technically author ... with all this internet technology we can just email pics.. so the only thing that would be sticky would be computer keys... and possibly a mouse... I would also like to point out that I like seeing people that don't take this site too seriously ..people who are over competitive make me laugh... I'd rather have fun then focus on winning.... just saying

AND YOU DON"T THINK I"M HAVING FUN.. lol.. I can see cmyk running to his walking eyeball friend.. whining to make me stop.. the reason I keep going hehehe..

noooo I mean some people take this site waaaay to seriously..
who is eyeball friend?? I have eyeballs
it's how I read all this.. and I laugh... this made my day...
I also author need to point out that I like how you make the strangest objects out of the random things ..

Very clever creations! However, in high resolution you can see that one of the UFO's on the top left hand side ends very abruptly, if you could smooth that out it'll be great. Good luck!!

Whoa, you two take this site waaay too seriously lmao! Kind of confused why the entry had to be bashed sarcastically in the first place though... but you two lovers have your own thing going on I don't know about... On topic: It's a cool idea, I like the placement of the UFO's.

is that an egg cracking in the bottom left of your entry?

edit: sorry it is the first comment

thanks Ponti.. FIXED IT.. I do have bad eyes... thanks to you too BRASKA.. just enjoy the show.. CMYK and his minions have been trying to have me banned forever.. on an entry like this it's all for fun

Great change

I guess if these are UFOs we are all screwed??? And, oh the drama

This is pretty cool! Maybe if the ones that are father off in the distance were blurred it would look more real. Looks like more shdows on the beach would help too. I don't want to go to the beach now though :P

I'd try putting the invaders at different angles or perspectives; the oncoming force looks a bit 2-d

Very good work...creative and different...good luck author

very good

The blood obliges.

Omg the saga continues lmao good luck 40 comments and growing Good luck Author

great idea !

Seriously, out of birds? How on earth did you even think about doing that? That is impressive. Good job!

smooches IDt8r... tater girl

nice but the whole image looks blured.. ( is that because ........ ''''''''we were gonna take pictures of us bikin' and I was shakin' real bad'''''') .... GL

Lol anoop...yeah it could be really good if it wasn't for the blur. Consider trying to fix that as you'd have a great image. BTW I knew strange things always happened on that trail...see what happened there just last week? http://www.pxleyes.com/photoshop-picture/4b9ce35bdf6d0/Aw-Nuts-.html

*sigh* I knew I was taking a chance by doing this, BUT...I wanted to make it " as convincing and believable as possible" as per the guidelines and my reasoning is that if anybody actually DID come across something like this, they'd be running home to change their pants, not calmly setting up the shot and making sure the focus was correct. This looks like a picture *I* would take, even on a good day.

I don't mind the blur either .. though maybe add a teensy weensy bit of altered color to the body of the ship.. maybe a touch of contrast ,,, but that is totally IMHO.. great job author

well done.. it really realistic.. and I agree with your point there.. that people will be running around here and there at this kind of situation.. haven't we seen a lot of alien invasion flicks..? haha.. I liked it really it..

tho it's suggested to use hi-res, I think this works, love your description of the event!

Creative concept. An unsteady camera yields a bur, not a double exposure exposure as presented here, however. The jets by the UFO are the smallest so must be the farthest away, a distinction I would otherwise have expected to accord to the two center jets flying towards the left (in my mind returning back after having flown around the UFO).

Nice! I doubt someone would keep the calm if this situation was really true!

Okay I see your point with the blur. The craft just looks a bit unrealistic, even with the blur, being so close, it seems like it should have a bit more detail.

lol... chickpeas!

nice thinking

Dan, I'm going to have to take your word about the double exposure thing. Cameras and I don't get along, so I leave them alone and they leave me alone. Game, I've never seen a real UFO, so I wouldn't know if mine is "unrealistic". But, once again, my thinking is that if I were going to build an inter-atmospheric vehicle, it would be as smooth as possible, not only to avoid air drag, but also to keep things from falling off. Yes, I think about these things and yes, I think too much.

great work ! amazing !

Blur doesn't really work for me, mainly because in a daylight shot like this, it will never be this blurry. Even the most novice of photographers could get a pretty clear shot with this lighting, no matter how scared he was.

Thank you for your votes and comments!

nice idea

Cool vantage point. I don't think the UFO undersides should not be so brightly lit, however, as I would expect them to be in shadow.

It does look like a phony UFO photo which is the idea right?

very neat idea

Light source is from upper right, the round shadow wouldn't be there. It's too small anyway...

Kevin, sbs posted right now!

Cute. I personally think the big green glow and the white flare detract. The base flange needs more shadow to be consistent with the shadow on the globe.

it's EVE without a body ...hehehehe.. very cute entry

CMYK, my friend, about the shadow I agree with you, I'll try to fix; but about the craft size... Who said a UFO needs to be huge? The guy is looking through binoculars and think it's big, but...

Haha very cute. I like the added humor with the binoculars and the craft size (it's good tiny!). My only complaint would be is that it's obviously fake, and the contest states to make it as realistic as possible. With a bit more work you could be able to achieve this (only if you want, of course), and you'd have a really clever entry.

Author, I meant the shadow is too small. Just get rid of it if you can't figure out how to do it right. According to the light source, it wouldn't be visible in the pic anyway. Look at the angle of the light on the man.

I changed the opacity of the lights and put a metal texture. How about now?

Hmm better. Maybe try dodging and burning it a bit to make it look more like an orb, and maybe try cutting out a real pane of glass (if you can find a suitable one, of course) to use for the spacecraft. That should make it look pretty realistic if that's what you're aiming for. Also try a bit of guassian blur on the shadow. Shadows tend to be blurred more when they're more distant away from the object casting it.

LOL...the shadow is still wrong...look at the angle of the shadow on the man's hand.

Yes, and the light is coming from the top-right...the makes the shadow correct, no?

Clever. I don't think you need the light glow from the 'foo cause it's broad daylight.

I dunno if he'd need binoculars to see the craft.

It's meant to be a joke, Barnacle.

Yeah, the guy is fooling himself... ;p

lol, and a joke it is.

nice job

Agrees with CMYK46. Shadow is not necessary but better luck next time.
