I really don't know how to vote on this one...Cause this is great entry, love the idea, love the final image but this is full 3D work in PS contest...

sorry about the multiple posts it was meant to be just one ;( I screwed up LOL (I'll edit them into one just hold on :P)

As for the idea, its really not bad it just not unique that kinda was my point.

We could have a long debate on the pros and cons of 3d versus photoshop but I dont think that will get us anywhere near to a positive outcome. I cant compare 3d really well with photoshop thats a personal thing I think, so thats why I had a hard time voting on it. I just went in the middle not bad vote not good vote. Because I dont think its bad at all. But if you had to compose that in photoshop it would be a lot harder I think. That doesnt mean that you didn't do much or that it was easy. Just very different.

double post

I rly have a hard time voting on this since it seems to be a full 3d entry, I like the materials, the wood and gold and lead but they where allready created material textures and the computer calculates the reflections and shadows etc where in photoshop you have to do that yourself. so that costs points.

This isnt rly YOUR invention o.o; alchemist have been trying to turn lead into gold for ages.. they actualy succeeded too.

Transmutation of lead into gold isn't just theoretically possible - it has been achieved! There are reports that Glenn Seaborg, 1951 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, succeeded in transmuting a minute quantity of lead (possibly en route from bismuth, in 1980) into gold. There is an earlier report (1972) in which Soviet physicists at a nuclear research facility near Lake Baikal in Siberia accidentally discovered a reaction for turning lead into gold when they found the lead shielding of an experimental reactor had changed to gold.

Simple but good

Very nice!!!!

MINES! hehehe.. so galaxy quest LOL.. good luck

got that whole Lord of the Rings feel too it LOL.. good luck

Beautiful shot

Nice Congrats

Nice Congrats

great job!!! congrats on very hi 2nd

Like the shadows-they emphasize the lonely feel

Lovely, I'm sure it would ook beautiful in colour too.

Desaturating it really took a lot of "oomph" out of the picture. The Gazebo looks very drab and low contrast...

Congrats! Great entry!

oh!

Congratulations on second

Congratulations on second

How was the desaturation done?

I wonder how much money Jack Daniels makes off of all the musicians who think their standard uniform requires that t-shirt?

Goal states "As an exception: a small plain colored border is allowed between the photos"
there is nothing about a border all around.

nice photos, good luck

Wow, very thoughtful concepts with great message

Great idea, I'm thinking about learning the sign language. = )

Nice Congrats

Wow, this should have won!

great pic!

Love it, simple yet elegant. Well done

Yay! At least I had the single letters right.
But not even for a second I thought about reading it just as one sentence...
That's probably one of the problems, when English isn't your first language. If it would have been in German, it probably would have yelled at me: "I'm a sentence, I'm a sentence!"

I knew that sign language varied from language to language. But I didn't realize that British Sign language so much different from American sign language! American sign language only uses one hand for letters!! Very interesting!

well done

Very clever idea here

Resourceful! Well conceived and executed - an image with a message.

Ok, that kept me busy for an half hour now...
Either I used the wrong alphabet to translate it, or the message is so good hidden, that I just don't see it.
What I got, read from left to right:

turny
our?o
undsi
nto?i
sdom

Both "?" could be a "w", but I'm not sure about that one.
Am I halfway close or completey wrong? It doesn't make sense
Great idea btw!

looking like a Vintage Photo

good one...... all the best

I like this one!

so what exactly did u do in photoshop?

looking cool... Rim light making is so attractive... gr8 job author..... gud luck

nice reflection on the tube...

author.. bit of concern.. you should take the surface of one of the lifesavers and place it over the surface of one of the discs you created and blend it into the image to prevent from being pulled on a technicality .. great chop, but I've seen images pulled for less.. great job as always

Whan I look at your SBS, it seems like you didn't use the source file, but you made the objects yourself?

This is very nice, I like this entry a lot. Very well done.

parts remind me of those collapsible laundry baskets LOL.. good luck

this one is really goood

great, why didn't I think of that?

I preffer the textures the white door and the original mat but the floor and the wall looks more reallistic in the new entry. Both are great.

Amazing, nice work with textures, good luck!

p.s. - I'm not a big fan of the wall geometry going through each other. It would be nice if it were the inside of a cube, rather than 3 planes that intersect.
