Kind of terrifying in an 'oh god make it die' sort of way, but very good...

Nahhhh Fredex....its cute...hahahahahahaha

I love it ! Good luck author

I think you could have done better merging of the image parts.
Still, its super great idea.
You have my vote

Yoguy
Please clarify what you mean....what parts could i have merged better ?
I cleaned it up a bit more and fixed a few edges anyhow .

Author, you know I like your work, but being lazy on your SBS doesn't get you anywhere. In this case I'll give you a break because it's kinda obvious what you did, but members need to learn, too.

light is coming from the right. see that the front side of the barrel is in the shadow. the fingers should be darkened, all so there is shadow missing beneath them. all so i would try to darken a bit the left side the shoulder, ear, and cheek.

see that the front side of the barrel is a bit out of focus and the left back side, is sharp. the baby depth of field is opposite. the back shoulder is out of focus and the front fingers are in focus.

all so i would add some adjustment layers on top of all to unify more the image

Thanks for your opinion Yoguy, but i have to disagree....Its obviously not alot of light in the pic, and the barrel is on a sloping angle while the fingers point straight down, It makes perfect sense to me that the shadows are right, especially if you compare them to the shadows on the babys face. Also, it seems the barrel is also weathered and more darker on the outside,

As for the focus, you may be right but its such a slight difference its hardly noticeable.

Thanks for your input, but it would be much more appreciated if you had given it before the deadline had finished.

sorry for the late reply, it was immediately after i so your response
nevertheless i think your post is the most creative and in spite of my perfectionist opinion i think it is well done
you still have my vote
