cool idea and good work author...gl

Are there any sources ?

Edit: Im sorry I didn't saw it at first

SBS Nickk! It's in there...

Very cool!

Just went back and re-read the story... missed the part about the growth being "bat like"

Thanks for the props!

I like that you took your own photos and created something different from them.

Thx pixel, but I can't take credit for them there wings, that's on Red Bull, and the photos author, Arpingstone.!

the story is Terrifying LOL good luck author

Drivenslush, you are right... but the very last paragraph was the deciding factor in my decision to use it.

Great article to pick and well done image!

Congrats

Congrats!!

Thanks spaceranger; hereisanoop! Got lucky again, yeehaww... lol

Congrats on your win

For a first entry, ok... however I would use the whole week to make an image for these contests. This is a very talented site and filter works don't seem to get very far in a contest... but that is something we ALL learn in the beginning

Goodluck author, you will get alot of help don't worry

Thanks for the advice

WONDERFUL.. just a tad more definition to the tack.. but if you are happy with it.. then it's fine.. I'm just looking at HI RES.. and the blur does take over the image (IMHO).. good luck and great job!!!

Really interesting image ... I do agree with Driven on the Tack blur ... but it is only noticeable in High res.

@Drivenslush and arca: Thanks for your input. I've removed quite a bit of blur now, but am trying to establish depth where the balloon and hand are in focus and the tack being so close to the foreground is slightly blurred. I keep thinking realistically both objects wouldn't be in focus and am trying to keep the balloon and hand the center subject. Does that make sense? I hope so.

Great concept, but the entire image is too blurry, except for the balloon, which is so far back, yet crystal sharp. The fuzzy looking hand next to it just compounds the overall incongruity...Also, if the back end is enclosed, where is that light source on it coming from???

Thanks MossyB for your observations. I missed the light thing on the elevator bottom. Thanks. I darkened it. Looks better. I removed all the blurriness of the shot. Looks clearer. Thanks for everyone's suggestions.

Fantastic work and amazingly cool perspective...u did really really cool small details as door edges, preservation of graffiti and pin of course...best of luck author

very good........

There are a few masking probs. but overall it's a good final result.
I appreciate your try of making DOF, sorry it didn't work -instead, making some dust would & should have looked really better.

Congratulations! Really fun image!

Congrats PK....another intelligent and well executed piece. Personally, I liked the blur.

Congrats!!

congratulation...

I put my source in the SBS Guide. It's there. I don't know where else I can put it. I fixed it.

I will figure it out. Please don't take it out.

I uploded it and I don't know why when I press source, it says I have no source. How do I upload my sources from my computer? I didn't find ay spec. instructions on it.

The flash you used when you took the picture is too contrasting for this image, since the light source is from the sunset behind her. You might be able to offset it a bit if you very slightly darken the dancer layer.

The edges are a bit too sharp, giving it a "cut and paste" look.

You can't "source" link from your PC, it only uses URL addresses.
