awesome work ! great ufo !

One might argue that producing something awesome while limited by onerous contraints shows true creativity.

Fabulous work...very very well done author...high marks from me...

Okay, I see your point, Braska. I suppose it's a matter of opinion what looks realistic or not. We're conditioned to believe that these things are fake, so we consider this "unrealistic." Why? Why can't it be realistic? Yes, once again, great entry.

yes, that was a VERY obvious exaggeration when I said 500, was trying to make a point. Saying "your image HAS to be at least 1600 X 1200", the photo has to look extremely life-like, also a "daylight scene is recommended". My 'point' is that it stuns creativity, I fully understand the 'point' of the contest. And why couldn't someone of taken the photo above? Looks good to me, they snapped the shot, tweaked it a little in Photoshop and posted it on flickr, right? And its a nite scene!? Vote lower? naaaa. Outstanding image.

Braska...that was the point of this contest. Lots of people can make a really stunning, dramatic, sci-fi scene, but can you also do it while making it look like a hoax photo? This contest isn't called "UFO" it's called "UFO hoax." Ignoring that rule makes the contest too easy. And it's just the one rule, not "500 different little stipulations."

Nice piece of art! You used some nice pics.... And who cares about the line "even in high-res, you should not be able to tell whether the picture is real or fake." .... Start adding 500 different little stipulations to the theme that are personal preferences and you just end up stunning creativity - imo.

Good title great picture

looks good

Breaking News, along with others, follows the theme that "even in high-res, you should not be able to tell whether the picture is real or fake." Obviously, the over-dramatic lighting makes this look too fake for a hoax photo. I know, alot of people have forgotten about this rule by now. There's no doubt that this is still a great entry, but it could be more on theme in a more photo-esque scene. You did an awesome job on the UFO, btw.

It's not hard to be on theme: check out "Rooftop Sighting," "The Visitor," "Crop Circling," and "Breaking News." Still, the picture is an awesome sci-fi scene.
Just check out the latest entry "And then I looked up." Great example of a picture that looks as if it was taken by an average guy, of a UFO that seems pretty real.

EDIT: AHA! Knew it was you! I think your PS skills are pretty awesome alone...

awesome.. (source not working.. I think only for me) I think some lights coming from the centre of ufo will be very nice...

Very nice...as I said with many entries here: "doesn't look like a hoax photo but very nice."

nice composition but SBS?

every entry here at pxl in the end is 2d, thats what we see here,
photoshop is an image editing software so it is a catchall in the contest, some may draw, some may use 3d, some may set up a photo, and some look for a photo source on the net,
no matter what type of source you use in the end you edit it in a 2d and post in contest

what happens if somebody use a 3d program to construct their own images... since it is allowed to use images that are not copyrighted...

I am wondering why are there seperate '3d contests, ps contests, and drawing contests.. 3d max is that much advanced for making fabulous models... I want to ask here whether my entry will get pulled if i put a drawing of a scenario which has a ufo... this not to hurt you author.. since this is amazingly well constructed.. but still doubt about using 90% work with 3d....

thats..... cooool..... I like the result..GL

dude ) ky ( try reading the goal of this contest,
you are an idiot

So how does this represent a hoax, which seems to be the point of the contest?

Yes Ichappell that's just a reminder, I think to clarify this isn't about aliens and monsters but about UFO sightings.

a quote from the comments on this contest suggestion - Contest Moderator: "The contest theme is to show a UFO. This means a vehicle of some kind that is an Unidentified Flying Object, which you may show in flight or hovering or even landed."
