This entry uses the source and my own photo only. The SBS is brief because the methods were limited mostly to erasers and cloning with some brush work at the end. The soldier layer was divided into two so I could slightly blur the one to the rear. They were then set on Luminosity. (5 years and 3182 days ago)
Very believable.......nice job. GL.................JB
Very real...GL![](http://www.pxleyes.com/forum/images/smilies/3.gif)
Wow.... amazed!
cool!
The large grass in front makes the size proportion look wonky. They look like toy soldiers.
Thanks for your comments. Mossy, I considered the foreground at an early stage, and, living in the country, I decided there are a large variety of weeds & briers of all sizes and configurations so I left it alone. That being said, after your comment I duplicated the layer & cloned away some of the taller stuff. I then applied a layer mask to the top layer and gave the extreme foreground some blur to give some depth of field. After all, we wouldn't want things all wonky.![](http://www.pxleyes.com/forum/images/smilies/3.gif)
Nicely done! Seems you really took the time!
Blending is simply perfect, it's very convincent!![](http://www.pxleyes.com/forum/images/smilies/1.gif)
the only thing is the difference in pixels. otherwise. it looks awesome. love it. good luck
Fantastic concept author and i love it...Selection of color is top notch...also blending is done perfectly...i don't agree with Mossy about the grass... i opened your entry and watch in high resolution on 26" monitor but whole scene fits perfectly...well done author and instant fav from me...best of luck
Great idea!! Looks like it is how it's supposed to be... not like you chopped it at all IMO of course.![](http://www.pxleyes.com/forum/images/smilies/1.gif)
imho.....with this compsition...proportions or scale is lacking ...!!!
very creative
Love this! Overall nice work, tho the men on the far left look cut out a bit. But good coloring and blending, especially behind the trees in the distance. Some tedious work done here, pretty believable image! Very nice work, author.![](http://www.pxleyes.com/forum/images/smilies/4.gif)
