congrats

congrats angel baby

err umm. I'm sorry, but that was one of the most awful movies I ever saw.... and you made it GREAT.. I wanna go see your version LOL.. great job

very cool, good luck

my spikie spike spikie shoes.. woo HOOO

very cute (great idea)

well then ... here's a cookie itsmymoment.. I hope you enjoy seeing your corpse on the local news LOL.. (You missed the point totally) sorry, cut some respect to a fetus corpse.. it deserves just as much respect as a large one.. who cares if it's only seconds alive..there is a reason only the family gets to take the ashes home.. and not anyone who shows up to the service..

And author, you are brave to chose such a horrific subject to manipulate.. when You pass into the next life, May I coat you in Fuzzy green plants and make you a competition subject? So stylish, so beautiful.. (all I was asking for you to do is show some respect to past departed, (I love all art, I even love this, but it really doesn't belong in a competition.. that's all I'm saying,, it belongs in a High art Competition, not in a Fern Plant image.. (show some respect to the dying)

When you decide to use a subject of such deep regard, the resulting image should follow under the same value...

I really don't think a fern qualifies as a equal image to human creation (but then I could be wrong... )

This type of image has it's place... BUT NOT IN A PUBLIC COMPETITION FORUM.. it's called respect for the Dead...

They showed Mussolini in public papers being spat upon, upside down and dead, doesn't make it any less wrong. and because of those photos.. so much of the paper work that would have incriminated his deeds was lost, because the PUBLIC saw those images and destroyed all the evidence against his followers... (Why do you think the Egyptians are freaking out over all the paper work in the buildings of the secret police)... sigh.. there is a bigger picture

(using the term TSK to formulate an argument for a passed on fetus, is very sad indeed)

Coffin view is FOR THE FAMILY. not the public.end of story (and a fetus in formaldehyde has major issues)

(If it was the Authors image I would have no problem with it.. but it's someone they do not know, nor never will, and that is just not right .. on so many angles)

Respect for the ones that have passed on...(RESPECT FOR THE DEAD) I'd have the same feeling if I saw a photo of a family member having his image taken from the coffin..

Author, there are moral images, immoral images.. and just plain bad taste..(all you had to do is find an image of an actual live fetus and everything would have been okay, but you chose something deplorable) I'd hate to see what reaction would come from the poor female who lost this treasure.

I don't blame you author, I blame the person that placed this on web to be used as a manipulation, so frightening uncool.. (Maybe for your next creation you could put a little girl hiding in a toilet in Auschwitz swallowing her own fecal material in order to preserve the family diamonds...)

Can't help it, this is a very sore subject in my book, (don't get me wrong.. in the proper setting, this would be a very powerful image.. BUT NOT IN A WEEKLY CONTEST).. it's in severe poor taste and make the whole submission cruel and unnecessary. This is ADVANCED art.. Not competition.. it's very.. well ewwwww

(Though if I was asked to defend this image, I probably would do it till the death, and as well done as it is.. it just hurts)

And no one likes to hurt... ask Anne Frank

Great save Author, You really came through on this piece (nice to see the source .. good luck I was a bit worried great now

funky fun

I can almost hear the train

spooky fun

EDIT: Now I remember.. Daygoba where Yoda Lives!!! that's what this reminds me of.. it was driving me nuts

major work on cloning out the background.. very well done.. good luck!!

The acrylic effect is quite fun Not going to nit pick the cement/brick alignment, wouldn't know it was there if I hadn't seen the original pic

ACK ACK ACK... DOCTOR STRANGELOVE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKK

(Or How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Bomb) giggle snort..

(YOU SO WEIRD.. LOVE IT)

SUPER DUPER CUTE.. great job

holy cheese sauce... I forgot how great this entry is )

hehehehehehe.. and a hehehe... LOVE IT!!!.. reminds me of Alley McBeal for some reason.. just don't bring on the dancing baby.. that will kill me LOL (super job)

Spoiled rotten fuzz ball.. dammit, when I die I better come back as one of these little poof balls.. what a life... grrrr.. hehehe.. awesome work

Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. I want that house in the background dammit (great job)

author..when using an outside source, I think it would be beneficial to use BOTH shoes and make the laces anti symmetric ( don't get me wrong, the resulting image is quite nice, but I think if you paid for the two images it seems a shame not to use Both of them.. that's if you were aiming for realism.. if you were aiming for simple surrealism.. great job.. but if you used BOTH shoes.. I think you would get a much more Powerful image.. but that's IMHO.. good luck

EDIT:.. OH YEAH!!!.. makes it so much more interesting.. to me anyway..LOL (I get lazy alot too LOL.. ).. great job!

WONDERFUL.. just a tad more definition to the tack.. but if you are happy with it.. then it's fine.. I'm just looking at HI RES.. and the blur does take over the image (IMHO).. good luck and great job!!!

I don't know... hmmmm....

Well the flowers are to Flowery.. and the vase is to vasey.. and the background is to backgroundy... etc.. etc.. etc...

Instant fav.. and a Woo HOO.. I'd do a back flip but my rump is too big and I wouldn't want to have to sue you for having to use a walker.. giggle snort

Really is a great creative image.. the lock of the glowing dome in the background is AWESOME

Super duper chop.. but in all honesty.. I think you blurred it too much.. (your steps show a very awesome clear image.. but that's just me.. excellent creation and super fav.. good luck.. but I don't really think you need it) Reminds me of the scene under water in Star Wars Episode 1.. hehehe with all the fish eating the bigger fish.. LOL.. good luck

all IMHO.. of course.. I love this whole concept.. and the work on the teeth is exhausting.. you owe me lots of Starbucks Espresso.. LOL

to bad this doesn't come with smellivision LOL.. great job neat texture

And if you Complain once more... you'll face an Army of meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

great job.. you got the eyes

I'm having an annabat flash back.. LOL.. great job

I see dead People! EEEEEKKKKK!!!

(GREAT JOB)

SUPER WELL DONE!!! the realism is out of the park!

well shuck my corn and call me grits... very well done (though I do want a Masquerade mask to show up).. just kidding.. wonderful and creative.. good luck

Great Bod! oy, but the body painting they would put him through on an actual model shoot... ugh.. getting there at 4 am, waiting for the proper lighting, rebuilding the face with make up (that alone can be an hour or two) not to mention the Nipple enhancements (they'd make him look like Beiber and have the wig in the ready..

Thank god I don't have to work with those people anymore (I was just there to make the studio available (I had the key LOL))

This dude is little town handsome, something the world media really ignores.. very sweet capture

PULL UP HIS DAMN PANTS!!! (sorry, old school guy here LOL) Underwear showing.. shish kibibble... the nuns would leave a mark!

@adeincyprus.. I think you assume that you think the little blue pill would raise her interest in YOU? (You set yourself up for that one and you know it)

When the little Blue Pill came out, one of our customers (widower) at the resort had just married a new wife (he was in his 60's, she was in her late 50's and he'd inform her that he took the blue pill and that she'd have to be ready in an about a half hour, he'd announce it in front of everyone when he'd return from a morning of fishing.) She turned to my mother and said, it's okay... I throw up later.

This is a wonderful capture, I love the abandoned sandal

Hehehehe

inventive! good luck

I'd say Naughty Voyeur .. hehehehe

liquidy and gooey.. to of my favorite things

too bad you couldn't show the layering effect in your sbs, while I understand what you've done quite easily, there are a lot of newbies who would benefit from showing them how you created this image, remember, the more detailed your sbs the higher your score...

other then that... what a super great whimsy you created... (I just want you to get a higher score author, if you do good work, it's best to show it off) GOOD LUCK

cartoonish, raw illustration, overall rough finish.. damn.. great job

very vibrate.. vibrant.. vibrous... (freaky good)

This is very striking author, and if this would have been available to me when I worked for GRAPHIK's (it has since become Wentworth Galleries) I would have sold the living (BLEEP) out of it in all the art deco Condos in South Beach... it's very wonderful and has a magnificent feel.. GOOD LUCK.. (think about sending the finished image to a banner printer.. (the stuff they do for sport teams) 5 feet tall would be awesome... (Imagine this in the entryway of one of the erte' hotels near the Fountain Bleau... WOOO HOOOO)

very sweet image.. (the girl reminds me so much of the sugar addict in the movie Pecker, I thought it was her for a second LOL) GOOD LUCK

WONDERFUL!!! Love the fact you used your own photo, makes it so much more personal.. WOO HOO!!!

wonderful texture and windows

lovely monster

great job (in high res you can see the doubled up hand with the ring of the front girl) fix that and you have a perfect entry (you still have time) GOOD LUCK and GOOD JOB

EDIT: Yippeee! all fixed

use your ACTUAL PIXELS VIEWER and you won't have a better image problem.. unless you built this image ALL in low res.. then I have no way of helping you... (this image would be so impressive if it was in high res, because it could be reproduced in extra large formation)

Imagine it on a giant fabric print up the side of a building.. woo hoo.. but that is just IMHO.. good luck and great form

very cute author.. you may want to experiment with the warp tool on the apron to make it conform over the body.. if you don't have warp, you can use the SPHERE filter, but that requires lots of work.. (warp tool is the sphere tool only letting you can grab any section and direct the sphere in any direction)... other then that .. your reflection work is well done...

just a little fun.. got to the Flaming Pear website and download the FLOOD tool (it's free for 30 days and experiment with it.. it really takes a lot of work out of reflection and gives you time to focus on more fun work)

good luck and great job

You may want to upload a less dimensionally thick image .. the HIGH RES is very blurry (natural effect of size enlargement without the proper DPI or PPI) if you use the ACTUAL PIXELS view option in PS, it is very helpful in deciding what size to save the image as.. the concept is very enjoyable, (imagine this image in downtown bar in the Village ... woo hoo) hehehe

classic lightening development.. good job

love the wonky red feet

aawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeee, I was so upset after that scene from the movie.. (I Know it's not real, but dammit.. he was so little and sweet.. LOLOL.. great job author

(I cry during AT&T commercials LOL)

EDIT: Your reversal of the shape to concave is flawless.. I'm kicking myself for not telling you earlier
