A shadow under the boot would be good.

very cool!

The color of the shiner is off, and I don't think a little kid with a black eye would be smiling.

Well there was no reason to leave the comments for they no longer apply to this entry. It's a shame they couldn't just realize the only reason to impose that rule was not to offend anyone. This is, sadly is not as convincing as the first of me.

Hey man This is not directed at you. The statement I made pertaining to other rule violations in the entry that ultimately got yanked had nothing to do with you. As a matter of fact the entry I was referring to is still posted, it is still in violation. As for the issue of taste well I personally find no humor in it what so ever. You just keep practicing and beware of comments posted because I am sure you will see more critique and not just from me. BTW welcome to the site have fun.

There is no one in for the money or glory here author. I find your second choice for a subject/source to be in poor taste portraying a small child with a black like you have. No I have never had any desire to play a guitar.

just because you could does not mean you should, the attempt at making it look like a black eye looks more like an ink stained eye

hehe

great work
I really like this

He looks like he put iodine on skin, it's too yellow IMO because he has white-pink skin tone.

Idea is funny of course, but I think it would have worked even better if you didnt use the smudge tool, but just kept the tree for what it was. Good luck!

Nice effects! I'd like some flowers in Spring and a sunshine in Summer...

great idea author,but try to work a bit more on rain and snow effect...best of luck

Great Idea and very well done. I understand Raz0r and erikuri's POV but respectfully disagree. GL

Don't forget to post your unedited image in your SBS as per the Rules & Guidelines.

Well, it's really a puzzle! I agree with Raz0r about the start and the finish point; if you had put a vertical line between them, maybe the problem was solved... But it's a great and clever idea, GL!

nice idea author ............. like it ............. all the best ..............

Sometimes simple just works.....this is one of those times

ok, if it works for you
for me,it is not "Deceiving"

great idea, would be much better if the start and finish were at different locations, as is you finish with a straight line

when the obvious is right in front of us.. it is often missed...

good luck author

Simple but yet very clever!!! GL!
