High resolution would be better

like the idea -- masking between the images could use some work (IMHO) as the line between the sand and hands it not defined enough they both are lost in blurr

very nice idea and cool mood and colors but demand a bit more masking...best of luck

Very original idea and perfectly exexuted !

Many thanks, I consider that a very high compliment coming from you! You've made my weekend!

I 100% agree with Lamantine. I was looking at the pile of dirt and thought, what the heck can you do with that? But your idea is excellent, and you did a great job with it. Congrats!

Great job, very realistic, but kinda dangerous hehe.

Wears out the bottoms of your skis and snowboards pretty quick, and talk about "road rash" if you wipe out...ouch! Jajajaja.

I would love to see the sbs on this so I can get an idea of the steps it takes to get something this cool!

great thing author...idea is amazing and execution is perfect...well done

Congrats for your second place!

congrats on 2nd...

Congrats!!

Congrats on the second place

Great idea and well done -- might loose the text on the image however

author, you need to place your original picture in the step by step, it's cool that you linked to the source but it's your account and once it's recognized you will no longer be able to stay anonymous... (great idea and GOOD LUCK)

thx for your comments, yes @ Alan you're right, Text is mostly difficult on an image.

@Drivenslush: I will do so during my next Contest-Upload, just don't see that stepbystep can be added afterwards.

yes u can add sbs afterwards....above u see the options....go to my stuff and then go to my contest entries...thr you will get the option of adding sbs...so plz upload the original image in ur sbs...othrws ths creation of urs might b removed by the mods...gud luck...and nice idea on the image..but as alan said the text is not workng for me either...

okay, sometimes less is more, the text love is in the air was absorbed from the cyclone
and stepbystep my photo is available.

Try color matching the head for a better result.

hm I'm not sure cause she is in the state of non finished assimilation. It should suggest a process.

Then have the blending be more gradual and possibly in some other regions to "suggest the process" more clearly.

Yeah, I would also blend some more of the original colour here and there or match the colour with another source. Very nice idea thou.

It would look better if the colors of the statues matched. Just use an adjustment layer on the given source image, either Hue/Saturation or Color Balance should do it.

this is very good one ,you get it

Good idea but try to fix the green color on the dirty face statue, Good luck author

aloah assimilation is now progressed. Seems that they are substantial in love...
color replacement and Hue Saturation in some cautious steps did it.

Much better!

Nice improvement

Great work author,unique idea and fabulous execution...well done

That's just great !

exceptional blending! GL!

Gongrats

congs

Congrats!!

wow, thank you I nevver thought to have a good placement like this

Now that is SWEET.. good thinking

Nicely done

nice one -- only suggestion is perhaps the lion could be a bit more gritty looking to match the beach a bit more

Nice idea, but with the light coming from the back, the side of the lion we see needs more shading (consistent with its shadow on the ground).

This is a great idea! love it!

Thanks for the feedback Alan2641 and DanLundberg, i will try to do what you 2 have suggested tonight

Lovely work, wonderful idea!

Congrats - great entry!
