Much improved...GL author!

I see it and yes the shade of the wall is a factor and the illusion but still original seems to have plaster edge ..which I assume the author fixed> I agree not the best choice of source and or placement. still nice work

Please check the source image. It's only the shade of the wall that makes it look like she's on a corner. (Author, not the best choice of sources because of that optical illusion...).

like the smashing into the wall...but having trouble with sunk in on the corner of a building perhaps wing and hand sticking out or move to wall only

Another member on this site gave me pointers like brushing out little scars on a face...small things that make the WORLD OF DIFFERENCE. Your work brings that point home to me.

Congrats B

CONGRATULATIONS well done and well deserved!

oooooops I goofed. sorry.

Good on you for number two ! Congratulations.

CONGRATULATIONS on first place.

Congrats for first place BWR !

I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT....was yours. Purrrrrrfect to my eyes.

That was a terrible thing to happen. I hope the insurance paid well. At least you found another one to rebuild.

My very first car was a second hand VW. Can't remember the year model.

Another well deserved win.

Excellent work

Honestly, I prefer the good looking one but this is only my opinion

Nice job, congrats.

Congrats again BW, now when I go in the desert I'll think of this and I'll know there's nothing to be afraid of

Congrats BW

Congratulations...

A very nice car but you can not go inside because there is no handle at the door ... a question in passing, while you have respected the general shapes of the car, why did you you change the shape of the windshield and the roof?

This upload was an education. What I liked most about it aside from the technical excellence was the humour....the fart propelling this handsome brute forward! LOVED IT and top marks. Very inspirational as always.

Once you see the spacial illusion it creates your smile ear to ear!

use the principle of "green screen" as a background to make selection extraction easier and you have ONE clear simple jpg to play with.

Your over complicating it. ZOOM in on the part if the image you want to be reflected and screenshot it. Paste that back into the original. A reflection is never expected to have the same clarity as the original focal subject.

Nice, clean and fun. Gem is the sbs. At your level the only thing i can mention IMHO, is the reflection. I feel there should be a perspective simulated as it is projected on a plane, and in that you would see a subtle depth blur approaching the viewer. Fantastic!

Brilliant.

"What is planned seldom happens, and what happens is seldom planned".

A lot of work went into this and it is a great entry showing off your skill as a photochopper par excellence!

You can even meet these spookies on bedside tables sometimes, dressed in snowmen...

I'm glad they don't live in deserts.

Great entry

A lot of work but I'm not sure this image matches the theme of the contest ...
What is the right place for a Spooky Tree?

Congratulations. Excellent work as always.

Congrats on the win and the high score.

Fantastic work ! Good luck author !

I will try NOT TO GUSH. From the shadowing aspects, to the realism/yet surreal to the colour palette of warm glow on the chameleon the the steel branches this truly rocks. I thank you also for your SBS which is a lesson (for me) and a valuable tool to learn from. Thank you for being on this site.

Great work.

Slick!

CONGRATS FOR FIRST PLACE

Congrats on this well deserved win!

Congratulations!

Congratulations BWR. It was the winner all along mate.

Congratulations BWR

Congratulations BWR. A well deserved win.

You could have put both in the contest if they look different enough. You are allowed more than one in a contest.

Just as well since we couldn't have a orphaned elephant. That would create a very sad mother.

Very well done. Cute story with a stork bringing a baby elephant to mama. Must be a very strong stork.

Great work.

"Hope this helps."

Hey, do bears fart in the forest?

YOU BETTER BELIEVE THIS HELPS. Thank you so much. I have faved this and will have it in my files to refer to, thank you again for your talent and generous heart.
