very good
perfect idea!!

mind blowing idea

Very interesting image ... I find it a little dark around the women. I can't decide if it works better that way or not but it is a very clever and fascinating image..

Really nice composition here. I almost hate to suggest this but perhaps if you throw the city skyline out of focus a bit...it'll give some depth. It just seems a bit unnatural to have everything be crystal clear focus. Give it a try. I like it the way it is too...but I think my suggestion will really help.

very very good image...gl author

Nice effect & light contrasts...perfect for this contest GL

Ha Ha Ha...nice. I like it.

nice blend of images, but the removal of the tree needs work

good choice of sources nicely blended --like the colour seems a like B&W with a touch of sepia

Very very nice work author,u achieve perfect blend here...well done

This looks very realistic to me! Love it!

Congratulations, friend!

Creative viewpoint for a gunfight scene. Innovative idea to fashion the far guy using snowboard dude as the base. Shadows are an issue, however. Far guy's shadow is totally unrealistic; for example, his feet can't cast a shadow in every direction like they're surrounded by some sort of black glow. The near guy appears to be lit by a fairly strong light from the left. Far guy's shadow and highlighting should conform to that. Ditto for other elements in the scene.

nice idea -- only one small thing the hat looks more like Crocodile Dundee than the Wild west

@Dan: Thanks a ton.. I was initially confused on the source of light in my BG and so eventually decided to be done with a dull midday shadow right under his feet.. Now I hope that I have made the shadow for the second guy correctly..Please correct me if I am still a disaster..

@Alan: Thank you for your comment.. i tried looking up the difference between the two hats.. i see some differences but I couldnt identify which one this is.. I removed the cable around his neck.. am not sure if this makes it more West ..

I find the edges of the man's shadow a bit too hard, you may want to blur it a bit to blend it more into the background.
Great idea for a West scene!

Great idea, I am thinking that there should be a lot more shadow under the hat of the first guy as the light would be coming from above and not from the side. Especially at the back of his head. Good luck!

I think the shadow is much better now, although Akassa might have a point about its edges. Now that Alan mentions it, the hat does seem more Australian outback than American west., but I'm willing to overlook that.

@ Akassa: Thank you.. I hope i have not overdone the blur now ..

@thefinalcut : Thank you for your comment.. I see it as a late evening scene (Long shadows).. Although at first sight I felt the shadows were wrong too, when i thought about it, I feel the shadows are pretty okay under the hat.. I hope the rest of voters feel the same too.. Thanks again for the time

Overall look of the image is just fabulous...but u have here few lighting and shadow issues...if we imagine that is brightest spot is the sky is sun or light source,then the shadow of the distanced guy should be totally opposite from the position like its now...other thing,u should make his front part,shirt and the pants darker and make some highlights on the edges...Sorry for my nit picks author,but this image have lots of potential and would be shame that u don't use that...best of luck

thanks erathion.. If you see the source image, the bright spot is probably not the sun (clean blue sky near the spot) ... I guess it should have been some lens effect and I guess it has become too obvious after applying some filters.. I will tone that bright spot further down to make sure it does not appear to be the sun..
I prefer my work to be criticized for details rather than just being ignored Thanks again...

nice but ....

I liked... It's cool... congratulations...

love it!

Woot! I can guess but I may be wrong so shoot me with a double clip
dang me this is too good

hahahahha very cool!

Funny idea but I'm afraid the quality of the chop is not great. It doesnlt look like the guns are part of the image, why are some parts of the guns transparent?

I would have made them guns coming from a RACK! Not something that looks like a transexual. Sorry to be so critical.

lmao, Great job!

As per the above comment, why critique it for not being what you would do, instead of critiquing it for what it is?

thanks lchappell - lol, they dont interfere with her guns! glad to get a grin cabldawg! thanks Tuckinator, made ya laugh! RayTedwell, i made them transparent cause that is how i saw things, no other reason. sorry you dont approve. k5683, ouch for the model, and "guns" of all sizes appeal to different people, some like the big guns and to some... more than a ... hm... handful... is too much fire power. gotta consider the kick! RattsSSV, a good chuckle is the heart of the idea, glad you like it!

just because she's a lovely member of the IBTC, doesn't mean she's not got a "rack"...its just a smaller one than some people prefer.
as president of the IBTC, i'd have to say she gets props for being brave enough to go braless in a dress like that, and...well, with her current condition must be a bit of a "nip" to the air. :lol:

woot!! I love it when it gets nippley out :P and Jade I thought this may have been your chop but no matter, and i have seen he/shes with the biggest fake knockers around k5683.
Good luck Author

Jade, lol! funny! I think ive seen a picture of your guns, lol! Dawg, yeah there are some he/shes that have racks of envy! thanks ya'll!

agrees with RayTedwell
