Great Choice with the black and white, really gives it that 50's old movie look

Great job. Almost looks like a photo

Great looking image.

The background is brilliant. Very clever.

Congrats

Congrats for 3rd, Randy!

Congrats Randy!!

Congratulations...!

Most realistic entry so far, I like this one, I'm only waiting for someone to get rid of that middle line where the plastic was molded together. Think you might be able to do that with a clone tool would be my recommendation . If not this is still a great pic.

I like the overall 'story' feeling to this - like straight out the history books Yay about that middle line too.

Congrats on 2nd place!

Smooth blend, but the white markings on the ears clearly show that it's just one ear, duplicated 3 times and flipped. You should put a little more effort into this, and clone out completely, or at least vary the white mark on the ears, so that they look different, and not all the same.

I really enjoy this chop.. a high res to see the detail would be cool.. but I understand your thoughts.. (fun chop)

It still looks like one ear, duplicated 3 times, with 2 of them flipped. The "cookie cutter" effect weakens the image. You could use the Liquify Tool to vary them a little...

The ears seem copy pasted to me. You should get s a fur brush a carefully blend the ears on the lion's head, also it needs some color changing :P yellow lions with gray ears? >.

This would look much better if the ears at least matched the lions in color, if not texture, which you can do through Image>Adjustments>Hue and Saturation.

It's a cute idea, but the somewhat lacking execution keeps it from being as strong an image as it could be.

Color matching the ears would make this a much better entry.

good idea author.. bt try to color match the ears for a better result.

The ears are all too identical, and the color is too pink for the lions.

very realistic work author
