it doesent look to abmominable...only looks like a frozen woman

welcome to pxleyes

Hi, welcome...go to guidelines to read on the SBS...it's pretty easy...GL

Welcome! The trick to the "SBS" is to save your work in intervals, so that you can show how you created your image. Good Luck.

to make a quick SBS, go to FILE - SCRIPTS - LAYER COMPS TO FILES....and just make sure you export them as jpegs....don't forget to specify a folder for them to extract to.....and your layers will all be saved seperately for upload as SBS.

oh yes, and WELCOME!!!

very very very funny.. on a side note.. if you could make the figure look less girlie (the figure looks very femine though that could be me) my sister had the highboots,flare jacket and used to have her pony tail out the back) though it may be just because the top shoulder is a bit blurry causing the ponytail effect.. great humor.. high marks from me

thanks for the feedback... however seems we were not allowed to manip a photo it is the best i could find ...
It was just how it looked.
thanks for the feedback..

i did not know chops were allowed.

i hope you like the changes.

NOTE: original background removed at artists request.
No disrespect was ment to the original male model or artist in creating this image.

you are perfectly allowed to chop the photo. All the guidelines say is to "make a photo in black in white" which means chops are allowed.

funny idea.gl

Overall really nice source selection. Really like how you kept the part of the car in the reflection.

Very nice. But the snowman doesn't fit completely. I don't know exactly what it is. Or the shadows or it misses some motion (like the road)

very nice, well done!

Very nice image... I think the snow man looks good if you are looking at it while driving, but if the concept is to look in the mirror the snowman should be blurred. I think that is what Marcia saw looking back and forth from snowman to mirror to snowman.... You can't see 2 things clearly at the same time.. Great entry and g/l

Great idea, and well executed.. maybe suggest the sky on your background image with the one form the source, to help it look like it matches. And also if you look closely there's a slight blue color cast. I suggest opening the source image in photoshop and duplicating it, then going to Filter -> Blur -> Average. This gives you the overall colour of your image, then just copy that into your finished image and set the mode to colour or soft light and play around with the opacity. But like i said, great idea, and a very convincing image.

The snowman needs dome dynamic to create the moviment feeling. Nice work.

I agree about the snowman but my question is about the lanes....in the reflection it is just a two lane road...in the rest of the picture, it is like a highway with a median in the middle--so it kinda doesn't match

Thanks all for your comments and criticisms. I've added a blur to the snowman, changed the sky colour, and removed the other lane from the image outside of the mirror. (although I thought that it was a path and not a car lane). Anyways, I removed it just in case and to avoid confusion

you did a great job fixing stuff, but what happened to the snow on the trees---it's gone now?

Thanks K5683!!! I completely missed that one. I forgot to unhide my layers before saving the file.

Good idea....source fits in perfect

Congrats for your second place!

Congratulations for 2nd

congrats!!

Congrats!

Congrats!!

Cool! You just need to add some shadows to the hair... Or hat... Or whatever it is GL

Nice image, but i agree with Vladimir. A very, very nice picture overall, but i also feel like the thing that the girls is looking at should be shown in the iamge. Great job though, and good luck.

hehehe... me know whooooo (the close up High res on the face is AWESOME)

Really beautiful work, author!

very nice image!

cool extraction and diffrent perspective.blue glow balls should be properly blended.good job

wOw!!

nice to see this again

I didn't remember this one, but it wasn't hard to guess who made, after I had a look at your SBS and saw the girl. She is so beautiful! Just as your entry. Good luck!

Uuuh... This is nice!

Ahh very nicely created.. great image,

very pretty....

How sweet I loved them, as I was a child. Maybe you can make the border, where the castle meets the snow, a little bit softer? It looks pretty sharp right now. And maybe you could add some shadows/reflections, where the middle and the small finger touch the globe. Good luck!

grreat idea!
