nice work.good luck

nice work with the source........ all the best .........

Very nice. GL

Wonderful effect, really nice entry. Good work and good luck! (Excellent depth of field)

Almost flawless! Aside from the head, the use of the grass brush is very nice. Very convincing result. I just have a suggestion to slightly blur the edge beyond the ear, it's too sharp (especially when you create a shallow DOF like that). High score for sure

Really wonderful and so nice ...GL for you author

love it

Great job!

Thanks for the comments Fixed the sharp edges.

Great idea and execution. I especially like the cracks. Good luck!

Hmmm, I don't think there is so much here... :O

took me a second.. but I got it.. EXCELLENT!!! (maybe darken under his feet just a bit to ground him but that really isn't necessary since you achieved the optical allusion.. sitting on the back of the bench.. LOLOLOL

GUYS GUYS!!!! the man is sitting on the front of the bench .. but the bench facing the other way.. perspective of the seat is doubled.. hehehe.. it was hard for me to see at first.. but it is quite clever... bravo author

The idea is certainly good, but I think it would even better if you could get one source for the man sitting on the bench (unfortunately the man source only contains a part of the bench), so the viewer will be less distracted about the fact that you pasted the man in the other bench image (for some reason it looks too pasted imo, maybe it's the way you added shadows). Good luck!

get it now , gl

Very creative! Maybe if the title referenced the bench instead of the man, initial confusion would be reduced. BTW I would expect his feet to touch the ground closer to the bench.

nice attempt ............. all the best to u ...............

It took me a second to figure it out too. Nice 1! GL!

Lol, I got it at the first 2 seconds...

i like it but ,i didn't understand it

this is actually quite cool! although the shadows are way too strong

thanks for correction
I'll try to fix it ..

Very very nice work!

nice idea

Very good concept.

good work and gud luck.......

nice work

GL
