Great blend, author...I'm sure it would look even better in high res! (Hint, hint...).

What CMYK???
SO you see all my mistakes?

The resolution on the turtle source pic wasnt that high.

Yeah I agree with you author on that! I had difficulty because the source wasn't very high! Hey! Nice Creation btw GL!

"The idea it to make a really crappy, low quality, but still decent looking cell phone photo into something you could frame on your wall."

Last I knew, a Canon SLR wasn't a cell phone...

But the picture was not taken by canon, but by phone, Huawei ... check the SBS before commenting, thanks for the comment!

Your SBS has no text with the pictures... It looked like a Mirror self portrait.
You have a GOOD camera on your cell phone!

okay, I put text ... thanks!

nice effects author and cool final image...gl

It's too dark. The viewer cannot easily make out what your focal point is, or how it relates to the title. Bring up the lighting so it's a full image, not just some light spots.

k, i tried to lighting it up some and put a litle green in the back to contrast the red...

Better, although still a bit too dark to tell much of a "story." The green does a good job of helping the color contrast, which improves the overall composition. Good luck!

Thanks - one of these days I may figure out photoshop

this entry is fantastic...blend is perfect,here is a touch of humor,very important in this contest...well done author

You could use Ctrl T Warp to make that text following the shapes . It will be harder but with more impact.

...good suggestion but I have not thought about it....;:!"
