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

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!

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

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.

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!

Funny! I would suggest a little bit more sporting clothes. Change her outfit

Oh dear Ressiv - and I just think she is (apart from the footwear) perfectly dressed for the occasion!

Well it's ok for an amateur good idea. Good luck!

It is a great idea, and you did a good job. GL

good luck

Congrats for the 1st . . . .

Congrats!

WOW! I'm amazed! Thank you for the congrats.

Congrats!!

congratulations !!! you did one great job ...

Uuuh...scary.
The shadow of the falling woman should also be falling and I think you should let the shadow of legs be visible on "extra part sticking out" - where the shadow suddenly gets cut. try also to blur and fade the motion blur a little so it not that straightsharp. Like the idea a lot. GL

Much better, but I wonder if the shadow of the falling woman might be to big - I can´t say for sure but it feels like it. And add some falling blur to the shadow - then I´ll be satisfied

actually, the shadow should be bigger( taller ) but i made it the same size as the girl.....and based on the angle in which the light source coming from a real shadow would be an entirely different shape rather than the same silhouette of what the girl looks like from perspective in which the picture was taken....but i just meant to keep this simple

My goodness!... Is there something like a net waiting for her down there?

I'm sure she had it coming. One of the most original chops I've seen GL!

hahaha, did he push her? neat idea, jawshoewhah's right, pretty original. Good job

Congrats for your second place!

Haha this is funny. Nice blending. When I look at this guy all I can do is laugh I would try a different background. Imo the background doesn't work with this. GL

Congrats!

Congrats for 3rd!

Eu nunca vi ninguém praticando skate descalço, mas em PS vale tudo! Legal...

cool

There's a tutorial similar to the apple and lion, if you used that tutorial be sure to credit it.

I suggest rotating the wings a little bit counter-clockwise to match with the shape of her body.

Good luck!

no i have not used any tutorial,i can manipulate objects which has an sphere shape like that but,simply i found apple the best to use!!

good luck
