nice idea.

good idea!

very nice

very nice

nice

nice done ,good luck

It's totally different now...

Good idea, but execution - so-so...

lookin much better now

the chain is left free so it cant get that stiff right angle as its showin..to make it realistic try to show the chain let falling down freely..otherwise evrything nice..

i agree with the commentators

cool....

Try to find a tutorial on the internet for how to create snow in photoshop, it will definitely help you to improve this. I also suggest you sharpen the background, because the snowboarder has now been blurred completely. As for the shadow, it still looks unnatural, i suggest you remove it and try again, just a bit of low opacity black paint around the edges of the snowboard and not the whole person. Good luck.

Definitely add a shadow, look at the one that the anchor casts on the bottom left, and use that as reference for the position and opacity of the shadow.

What CMYK means id that the chain is too bright for the image, also there is some stark light/dark on the chain, whick doesnt match the other pic. A couple of other things i'd add, the chain would fall straight down, not at an angle, and a very feint shadow would stop the 'floating' look

Desaturate chain, add shadow. Also, light sources are opposite...

Better than it was before. You can also take down the olpasity on a font layer for a better effect. GL!

That's better. Good luck

It looks better with a white, empty background. Blue and grey don't fit together...

you've picked the worse possible color for the background. find an image to put there. a hallway or something

agreed, put some motion blur on the snowflakes. also, experiment with different flake sizes, to help create depth

another background PLEASE :/

I think the shadoe is very unnatural, and the repetition in snow patches is obvious, even in low resolution, i suggest working on those.I would also suggest adding a bit of motion blur to the snow

A nice idea although shadow for all the chance might give it more depth.

It's simple but a clean chop and very convincing but just a small nitpick, in high res, the snowboarders edges just need a little bit more attention, maybe feather 1 pixel when cutting with polugonal lasso tool Still well done

I agree with both comment, but nice attempt.

It doesn't look too much bettter. Did you try flickr? You'd be amazed what you can find.

Why the silly floor and wall?

It's seems a little 2-dimentional

I agree with jawsh comment, you may use distortion of the background and shadows on the bottles to make them look more realistic

The water bottles are very 2 dimentional. Try using an external source.

You forgot to put the word "hand" in the plaque. It looks very flat.

I think it's the PXL logo that doesn't look right, like kind of jagged. Try using liquefy/push tool to see if you can't fix some of the jagged curve on the logo. I'll come look again later.

very creative and well done

This is a unique idea, but perhaps blurring the font a little might make it more realistic, IMO.

That's better, but you should blur the fonts a little bit. The resolution of he source is not that clear and it would look more authentic and not so chopped if you did.

and you'll become an awesome photoshopper

a little better

Why exactly did you put "My Lard Tax" on the big toe, because that's what it looks like in this resolution. If you're not going to put much effort into the source, the least you could do it make the fonts clearer and sharper and a little bit more level to the signs. "Home of taxes" is not level, noticeable even in this res.

Needs a high res...can't read the red type. (And hey, just be glad you don't live in NJ like me!).

it looks a little better... but it still looks weird..

I like the idea of it being wood burned in, but the blur around the "pxleyes" still seems unnatural. I would either just keep it as the original bark or make it a wooden of golden plated plaque nailed to the tree.

If i never see a reflection in a steel cup again... it will be to soon :P

It would look more realistic if it was wooden.

your symbol looks like its floating try making it fit to the tree or something maybe an overlay...

agrees with cmyk

i dont know whats going on but its kinda cool

Top of cup isn't round after step 2...warp type to match bottom curve.

interesting

colorful
