you will need a high res so voting can be done properly... I can see there's some great things here

EDIT: hehehe.. can see the excellent work.. blur the proper edges.. ( I don't have to tell you which or where) but I think you know already.. excellent job... and extra points for first entry.. hehehehe..

nice

Nice work!

I LOVE the alpaca's expression!

Very nice blending and idea!

hehe this is great

Good humor imaginative use of source...I like it

very nice, like it a lot. Why did you use a drop shadow on the alpaca? In the source there is no shadow on the boards.

funny stuff

Congrats for your first place!

Congrats to you

congrats woodz!!!

Congrats, nice work

so calm and peaceful!nice use of source

Great use of source, a very calm image. Good luck

Nice image, indeed...but I think you might have missed some masking where the leg and body meet on the small alpaca.

Missed masking, hmmmm... I compared the contest source, the outer source and the entry... I think that is not missed masking rather the reflection of the rock of the outer source... I matched the position and shape of the reflection with the supposedly missed masking and it matches... So no missed masking... But author should clarify...

(Guess I had nothing better to do lol)...

great

Yeah, Addie is right...its not miss masking. Its a reflection of a rock. Chk...out the background source...pixelkid

very nice, calm and peaceful, like it very much.

Very nice! Regardless of whether or not that is a reflection, it's very distracting and would only take a few seconds to clone out. It would definitely help prevent confusion in what is otherwise a well-done manipulation.

Congrats for your second place!

As far as I can tell, they have no legs and one has a cigar up his nose...
EDIT: Aha! Legs!

Good eye CMYK.. i didn't think about the legs, i thought that the chairs should have a small shadow under the chair itself... good luck though, great creativity!

Check the high res CMYK...You can see parts of the legs...And as for the cigar,it's on it's mouth...what are you talking about?
NVM...I fixed it...Thanks for the suggestions guys...

Good idea. Yeh the cigar does look like its in his nose lol. Also the cards have perspective issues. Good luck and well done!

The cigar is on it's mouth...check the high res or the last step of my SBS...EDIT:Thanks a lot for the suggestion and the comment pixelkid...I'll fix it as soon as possible...EDIT.2: Fixed!

Great job on this. I love stuff made from scratch...that being said...choose which alpaca you want to keep and change the other's lighting. Right now, they are both being lit from behind...choose one and darken the back of it and lighten the front.

EDIT: Looks

It looks more like the cigar is shoved up the alpaca's nose than in its mouth lol... Also 1 of those alpacas is cheating as both have an ace of spades and one has an ace of hearts, which is on the table.

Actually the right one is holding a queen of hearts but it's not clearly visible...But i'll fix it...

wonderful idea and good work. Love the way you made the background. I agree with other about the cigar in the nose, but hey, who says one can't smoke like that? I know people they shove the tobacco up the nose, so why not a cigar? The cards on the table are huge compared to the ones they hold in their hands. But the overall image is terrific.

Congrats for your third place!

congrats Alexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx !!!!!!!

congrats this is so funny!!! its my fav now!!!

Good job! There's just a bit too much symmetry on the ground between the legs...

Yeah! Dr. Doolittle!

Oooooo, mercy! Really cleverly done!

great imagination

Nice result. In fact I wanted to say the same as CMYK about the ground between the legs. If you can make it less symmetrical (just add some other ground parts), would be very nice. Good luck!

You can see where the top layer overlaps the bottom layer near the left legs. Also the shadows of the legs go in opposite directions, which makes no sense.

very nice one!

Thanks for the comments. I can see what you mean with the symmetry, I forgot about that area. But I also forgot about the shadows... lesson learned *hopefully )

Nice image...you made it look like a nice illustration.

super clever effect... I love how you made the background animals change position.. makes it very real... though I'd rather see this on a giant canvas mounted on stretch frame.. but that's me LOL

nice one, like what you did to the source.

Good one!
