Cool...

Thank you for comments....

remember to post your sources.. as for the strans above the watch, try using teh dodge and burn tools (dodge on the inside of the strands, burn on the edges) to create some depth.

i'm 14 is back... wtf...

Perhaps you should have used external sources.

umm I don't get this

I dont get this one...what the stripes represents?

Desert? What desert?

??interesting??

oooooh wow

Nice work. Seen a few of these "Face off's" around but very nice addition with the lions teeth. On the head, where the face was removed looks unrealistic. Girl source ? Nice overall job. Good luck

super creative take on the theme

Thanks Barnacle....you are entitled to your own opinion, but i have to disagree.......it looks realistic to me, but then again ive never seen a face removed like that so i guess i wouldnt know. The girls is from an old PST source pic. Its in the step guide.

old entry :O the edge of the lion's mouth needs to blend better

This is very nice work...i am personally against uploading old creations...but this work fits great to the theme...gl

Thanks kid....i cleaned up the edges of the mouth more.
Erathion........All my work was lost when PST crashed.....more than 300 entries and over a thousand hours in work down the drain.......i would love to see all the great works from the past re-submitted by everyone in the same boat as me.

I remember that entry, and yes, this fits the theme here perfectly. did it have the lion's mouth on the old entry? nice forked tongue!

WOW!!!!!!!!!

Amazing

cool !

Very cool !

Very cool !

wauwww! good luck author!!! ( how you do that so fast! ) it is super beautiful! and a nice idea

I like it.

Uh how can it look like a realistic cut ? The face has four parallel red fuzzy lines where the cut was made. I would expect to see one cut line and some swolen tissue along the incision line. That said, I rated it high even for an old entry

Thanks Barnacle.....wow....your a tough critic......who says its human? Perhaps its just 4 layers off skin at the edge that can be seen. To me, it looks realistic enough.

Very Well Put ... Excellent...

Someones gotta keep you on your toes :P

great.

WOW... visually amazing!... lost for words

one of best crazy photoshop effect... that I ever seen... Fantastic

Judging from the other entries I've seen so far, I'd be quite surprised to see this place any less than first. The originality and take on the theme is extraordinary. I'm just wondering, did you do this image just for this contest or was it something from a previous contest on PST? Just curious.

Hahaha..what the heck? lol

It was good back then, and it's still good. As a matter of fact, better than most.

Good work.

Congrats for your first place, Freejay!

Congrats freejay!

Congratulations on you 1st place. Great job!

Congrats, terrific work

Thanks all for the great comments.

ooo nice

Very nice...

Would be better if you used color to create depth instead of each pair of trees being the same color as they recede...maybe a bit of blur, too.

CMYK46 thanks for the suggestion. You are right, but I don't have the time now to fix it.

Cool...
