That is really cool, however, I wish the baby were in the same focus as the rest of the picture. Everything has a nice Gaussian blur to it and that baby is just crystal clear. Evening out the tones and sharpness of the three main items would really add to the painterly quality of it. Nice job overall though for sure!

thanks elinoree! for the bg part i was attempting to create a bit of depth by having distant objects less in focus... and the baby is in focus becase it is the main object, as is the dad, jsut the dad is swaying slightly in the air which is why he is less in focus... guess if i have to explain it i didn't do a good enough job showing it ;] Thanks for your thoughtful input!

lol... funny

The idea is good, I really like it, but execution needs some improvements. Looks like you're hiding some mistakes on the layer of the father by blurring. You can say it because of the DOF, it's alright, but I can't imagine the father is not in the same plane with the child (because the his shadow is as sharp as the shadow of his kid). Moreover, the right hand of the father needs to be recovered, looks like he loses fingers. Just my opinion, don't take it offensive. Good luck, author

no i was not covering up any mistakes... all blur added was simply for effect... i think i can stand to blur the father's shadow a bit more... thanks for your comments!!! ;]

i like this...

Nice one...gl

what a great idea funny

I think a better source image would have eliminated a lot of your problems to begin with.

You always thinks different... Nice to see this... GoOd LuCk.....!!!!

Considering it is probably in the middle of the race - the chick is really fast ;P

Nice idea hehe nope the cat's going to win it's going to eat that chicken why do you think it's looking at it? hehhe good luck author.

nice -- a bit of work to remove the whiteish edges of the chicken feet would help

funny. don't know about the shadows though...

On your mark...get set...GO...great idea and work author

People, look at the kitty's face!

Nice!

This is way funny, good job

very cool idea

good work ....like this...!!

Feet on chicken need a little work (I can see the old background where they were clipped)

why there is no shadow on the bottle and the glass?

Very interesting idea, but it needs some slight shadow under the source image...

I agree about the shadows...idea is great...good luck author

I really like the idea you had for this one. Very creative usage of the source. Good Luck!

agrees with shadows but unique idea. GL!

Very good... Wine tasting time!

Damn...lots of wine can put in this cup...LOL...gl

Very effective usage of the source, I love it! Gl
