lol sweet

Would have been much more appropriate with Cheney. Ok to use that picture?

Yes (if you are referring to the picture of Obama) it's a creative commons picture kyricom, most likely taken by a US citizen. As for being better if it were Cheney...that's debatable. Let's just say I was no real fan of his either, but IMO things are not any better as they stand now.

Not getting involved in politics here, but source 3 is obviously a photoshopped image.

Have you ever thought it could be some creative photography trick?

Look at the white edges. It's badly chopped.

So whats your point Bobby? You talking about my chopping or what you so desperately want to find some fault in here?

Just commenting on what I see. IMO the source pic is photoshopped.

I tell you what Bob, we'll let the mods sort this out. I am prepared and able to replace that crown.

Truthfully I hate that Herman Cain dropped out...

Honestly imo i dont think political statements should be in a contest like this but belong on a forum where ppl with the same ideas can share them. about the chop i dont understand the cow on the wall behind him and i do think the pic with the crown was allready chopped. Good work on the color change on the crown and i like how you didnt put it straighton his head.

thank you for your vote eladine BTW that is not a cow it is a rat on the wall behind him

Love the whiskers on the big rat! LOL

Lmao omg sorry XD hehe the black n white threw me off I guess n saw it as a cow LOL

CMYK is right..........source 3 has been photoshoped........its easy just to change the crown pic.

Nice idea

For what it's worth people...concerning the pre -manipulated source. I know for a fact that already photoshopped sources have been allowed to stay in these contests before. As a matter of fact just a couple of weeks ago one of these entries managed to take 2nd place in a contest. Funny thing is , no one opened their mouth's about that one. Thanks for being so concerned.

Hrmmm... let's see... Bush/Cheney spent a trillion dollars on a war against a country that didn't do anything to us, costing twice as many American lives (not to mention all the lives of people from other countries) as the original attack they were allegedly retaliating for, and now people bllame Obama that we're a trillion dollars in debt. Hrmmm... Bush/Cheney deregulated the banking industry allowing those thieves to crash the entire world economy and not a single one of them has gone to prison (because they made what they did legal). Hrmmm... Bush/Cheney's policies caused more unemployment than any time in our history except the Great depression and jobs have been added EVERY SINGLE MONTH under Obama... Hrmmmm... Bush/Cheney gutted the enforcement arm for the EPA in the name of smaller government, and BP and Halliburton cut corners and destroyed the Gulf of Mexico...Hrmmmm... Bush/Cheney... oh, never mind, not enough room here. Oh yeah, let's bring THEM back (or one of their clones)!

Tiger Woods!

What's eating at you krycom,and who ever thumbed you up? Does it bother you that I have re-posted this picture and there's nothing you can do about it now? BTW i can't help but think that it is you wanting to read and put more into this than what I intended. You know what Ripsaw, Tiger Woods's picture would have worked here just as well. But oh shame on me for doing a satirical picture of the current President of the United States, it's not like I am the 1st one to do such a thing on this site.

lol Thats why I dont think political statements belong in a photoshop contest. :P The satirical picture isnt the problem, its the subject

Doesn't bother me a bit that you reposted it. I certainly didn't mean to imply that Obama is perfect. He, as all presidents, have both positives and negatives, all of which can be made fun of. But, the guy who was the only person in history to change a country's stance on the Geneva Conventions to ALLOW torture, and allow American citizens to be detained with no charges and not allowed to contact family or lawyers, and so much else, just kind of gets under my skin. That, combined with the title "KIng Rat" puzzled me a little. The title took me to the novel by James Clavell, and the implication that Obama has done something along the lines of that character, or worse than his predecessor just seemed a bit of a non sequitor.

Whats wrong with my subject eladine? The last time I checked Obama was the president of the United States. I was not aware that this American president was so popular in The Netherlands. As I said before this is not the first jab a member of this site has taken a t a president...Did you mean to say my subject person?
Kyricom, sounds like you have been reading too much James Clavell, try reading some Dale Brown for a change.

Good job on the crown. Looks like some people want to ignore the technique used to create this work and sniffle about some political ideology.

King rat can represent any of our Government officials quite nicely, as they are all corrupt IMO. Voters on the
right and left at each others throats, this is the way they want it.
Good job and good luck Author.

My point exactly Cabl-D corrupt politicians at each other throats running a muck with NO leadership. Exactly the way they want it.

dang, i thought it was tiger woods

oh i personally dont have a problem with it all just looks like a policitical statement there and i dont think that belongs in a picture contest. LOL I do think actulay more ppl then you may think are concerned about what happens in the usa since it affects our economy as well and even closer to home... My brother has been send to afghanistan as well.. twice... if it wasnt for the usa to go to war with them this might not have happened.. but I dont wanna start a debate since I dont have a better solution either, just saying that whoever is making the calls in the usa also affects us and i think Obama has his mistakes but hes been cleaning up a lot of other ppls mess.

Eladine, lol I'm not too sure about him having cleaned up any messes over here. My biggest question is who's gonna clean up behind him?

thank good ness not me.. probably some other clown :P

So you admit there was a mess for him to clean up when he took office? And of course he hasn't cleaned up much. Every solution that he comes up with is shot down without anyone coming up with a solution of their own. Ask for a solution, and every other candidate gives you a reason why Obama isn't coming up with a good solution. Didn't ask about Obama. I asked what is YOUR solution. Blank stares and accusations of being an Obamabot because I want you to give me an answer that means something.

Reguardless, good chop. Trying to stick with what we are here for.

I am truly happy this picture has stirred so much emotion. downoffthedragon I have quite a few ideas in mind too many to list here. Not only that , if I were to start mentioning my ideas I'm sure it would just piss off a few more folks around here. Thank you for at least recognizing the caliber of work here.

Great ! nice work on this, and I like the way you think.

Thank you Glockman, bravo ....there is hope after all.

congrats,--- very enjoyable

Well it's a start....lol

Really funny!

Whoa! I have a feeling it will be *you*.

I don't know if it's possible but there's an "Empty Space" about 1/3rd to top-left. Also some "people" have their z-orders wrong hence are giving a sense of floating in mid-air. Eg: That red dude in front of that blue lady. Oh wait! Lemme rephrase: That red dude behind that cyan kid, behind that cyan guy, behind that magenta lady, behind that blue woman, behind that violet lass in front. Better

LOL, part of the idea is to create the chaos of the time of Margaret Sander, not to make a visually "Approved" image by PS standards, I do believe I created an image of overpopulation, but Margaret's greatest concern were the women of the time, having over 20 children before the age of 35 and having their internal organs so ripped to shreds that they died or suffered miserably because they didn't have healthy access to birth control, thanks nbaztec,

as to the 1/3 back, that's where I wanted to show children as part of the piece (there is no attempt to make it look like a photograph, it's an interpretation wall visual)

Oh, I had no idea about that. Thanks for educating me on that. Also you chaos is more like the Chaos Theory from the time of Ronald Reagan(Order in Chaos). I like what you have done with 100+ layers. When you go that distance it either a masterpiece or "modern art". Good luck.

wow, so cool and colorful...GL

It looks great, both chaos and order are displayed here

I like it allot!. aspecially that you made it in all kinds of different colours and patterns!

What a great interpretation of her cause! Never heard of her before, went to wiki to read about her, she was quite a woman. There's a Planned Parenthood a bit south of me - she left quite a legacy. Good work, author. Love the symbolism of the colors and textures.

The double space between 'World' and 'Wide' is distractring, made more so when they should really be a hyphenated adjective. The double PXL logos on the sides come across as secondary when a single big logo in the center could be compelling.

The fingernails are shaded funny, they look almost dirty.

DanLundberg Thanks for the comment I too care of it.

MossyB Thank you also The hands were done with a mask ok I redid by ding a solid hand and pasting over it but you lose the detale in hands and nail swhat I mean in # 10 in sbs. I put the redo #9 up.
