- 1: background
Yeah, so last Sunday, we were gonna go dirt bikin'. We got this place out in the desert where we go all the time. We come up over this ridge and saw this. I don't know what was goin' on. Trey, he's the friend I was with, he started screamin' we were bein' invaded and the jets were buzzin' this thing like flies on sh...uh...Anyway, I grabbed the camera, cuz we were gonna take pictures of us bikin' and I was shakin' real bad cuz I was sca...uh...excited and I managed to get this pic. Not a real good one, but then the camera died and I couldn't get anymore.

nice but the whole image looks blured.. ( is that because ........ ''''''''we were gonna take pictures of us bikin' and I was shakin' real bad'''''') .... GL
Lol anoop...yeah it could be really good if it wasn't for the blur. Consider trying to fix that as you'd have a great image. BTW I knew strange things always happened on that trail...see what happened there just last week? http://www.pxleyes.com/photoshop-picture/4b9ce35bdf6d0/Aw-Nuts-.html
*sigh* I knew I was taking a chance by doing this, BUT...I wanted to make it " as convincing and believable as possible" as per the guidelines and my reasoning is that if anybody actually DID come across something like this, they'd be running home to change their pants, not calmly setting up the shot and making sure the focus was correct. This looks like a picture *I* would take, even on a good day.
I don't mind the blur either .. though maybe add a teensy weensy bit of altered color to the body of the ship.. maybe a touch of contrast ,,, but that is totally IMHO.. great job author
well done.. it really realistic.. and I agree with your point there.. that people will be running around here and there at this kind of situation.. haven't we seen a lot of alien invasion flicks..? haha.. I liked it really it..
tho it's suggested to use hi-res, I think this works, love your description of the event!
Creative concept. An unsteady camera yields a bur, not a double exposure exposure as presented here, however. The jets by the UFO are the smallest so must be the farthest away, a distinction I would otherwise have expected to accord to the two center jets flying towards the left (in my mind returning back after having flown around the UFO).
Nice! I doubt someone would keep the calm if this situation was really true!
Okay I see your point with the blur. The craft just looks a bit unrealistic, even with the blur, being so close, it seems like it should have a bit more detail.
lol... chickpeas!
nice thinking
Dan, I'm going to have to take your word about the double exposure thing. Cameras and I don't get along, so I leave them alone and they leave me alone. Game, I've never seen a real UFO, so I wouldn't know if mine is "unrealistic". But, once again, my thinking is that if I were going to build an inter-atmospheric vehicle, it would be as smooth as possible, not only to avoid air drag, but also to keep things from falling off. Yes, I think about these things and yes, I think too much.
great work ! amazing !
Blur doesn't really work for me, mainly because in a daylight shot like this, it will never be this blurry. Even the most novice of photographers could get a pretty clear shot with this lighting, no matter how scared he was.

BWHAAAA HAAAA HAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAA
she looks like she's sleeping in an awkward position
I like her colors. Good choice of a model source.
Close, but no cigar....
I like the idea of a woman asleep, but a more natural pose would serve this better. I like how you extended the chair, but the cushion seems to have gotten really dark. Keep at it. It has definite promise...
Thank you for your comments everyone, the truth is, i didn't choose the model after completing this, i chose the modelf irst, and created my image around her. I understand it's a bit of a strange position, but this is pretty much exactly what i wanted. Pixelkid: thank you, i did darken the sofa and the cushion to give the desired feel, i did that by overlaying the image several times with different saturation levels, and finally applying a completely de-saturated version set to 'Hard Light'.

Look it up spelled this way: 'bustle'. I had the chance to work at an ad agency whose office was in a renovated 3-story Victorian house. Our first Christmas party, the staff wore rented attire of the age - the ladies wore dresses with the bustles - believe me, using the ladies' room was a challenge! Serious fun, tho.
Awesome Entry.......G/L Author.
