Hope they work, you colour isn't looking too good.

nice

I'm on those, too...forgot to take mine this morning, thanks for the reminder! Nice coloring, helps direct the focus.

i said wow when i saw this, nice

Nice

Good idea

mind blowing..... goood work

Agree with Mossy, you should try it back with the flash on the hand which it very disturbing !

Maybe it's due to the JPEG, but the 2 middle teeth of the fork seem erased.

very realistic!

Fun set up. I knew this wouldn't be the easiest of photographic challenges, but would turn out some truly entertaining compositions. Good job.

Thankfully it's not that easy for us to eat the food we see on TV...lol! The flash is a bit distracting, but overall, very nice photo!

good ..

Cool idea, but this photo is lacking a bit in the composition department. A couple of suggestions, there is no need to have the rest of the coat hanger in the shot, it is pretty clear what it is just by looking at what is attached to the glasses. Also try a different angle, something to better capture the viewers interest. For example, get down low with your camera (same level as the glasses) and have them turned slightly at an angle, get in close when you take the shot to get a low depth of field.

Since this is not a real silhouette but more a combination of shadow and silhouette AND the object is behind a cloth this entry is considered to be indirect and therefor making this entry valid.

Are we seeing a shadow of the knife or it's silhouette through the cloth?

I would rotate this image anti-clock wise and lighten it a little, great idea.

great shot, would have been even better if the focus had included the top of the fingers, rather than the wood grain.

Too bad the hand photo on the phone was rotated. This would have been more powerful if it were in the same position as the hand holding the phone. Good concept, though.

Excellent shot! Almost looks like a sci-fi alien. Great clarity, I love the grain of the wood and the hairs on the arm. Well done!

I noticed that the poker hand, Aces and eights. This is called dead mans hand, the hand Wild Bill Hickok was holding when he was shot from behind in that fateful day on Deadwood South Dakota.
Good job Author

The liquid in the glass is a different color than the liquid in the bottle, otherwise, this is a cute composition.

LOL - at least there are no other floaters

Funny concept, but the blurriness and the flash take distract from the message.

fun, just wish the quality was better.

Focus could be a little sharper... but pretty funny

I wouldn't pray to be there @ this time no matter what! Good work author!

Ouhhhh this is better

Nice one author!

i hate kitty cats ...

Love the facial expression. Great focus!
Too bad you cut the top of his ears off...

Fantastic results. Worth all the effort!

Author, if you go to My stuff/My contest entries/Edit entry you can still post a hi-res image.

Good good good

Looks good! H-res is low res, though...

Why are your fingers "Koolade Pink" holding the name tag? Cute photo, but those fingers steal the visual attention. What, the cats wouldn't just let you lean it on one of them? There's a website, "stuff on my cat," of household items placed on cats...Looks like your two wouldn't make it without help...lol!

I agree with all the above. Keep'em coming, and for the shakes, a couple shots of Jack Daniels might help. GL

very nice shot

For a shaky hand (in my case very bad eyesight) you can expand an image to really see the edge of an item and cutting gets easier, slower, but easier.. I'm not familiar with the program you are using so I won't be help with tools... (your use of a white sheet in your own pictures is brilliant, it makes it much easier to cut an object out) if edges get bumpy you can go in with a blur brush and rub the edges to even them out..

Practice Practice Practice and experiment like crazy.. we all start somewhere and your abilities will improve in time.. this chop is a great start

Pixlr is wonderful for online manipulations, and since you don't have to download it onto your PC, it doesn't take up disk space. The tools are powerful, with most of the more important ones similar to Photoshop - Levels, Curves, Hue & Sat, Brightness & Contrast, etc...It also has a good selection of filters (Gaussian and other Blurs, Sharpen, Diffuse, Noise, Emboss, etc.), as well as Burn and Dodge, Bloat and Shrink, and a decent color replace tool.

It's almost like having "Photoshop Lite" available for free online...I'll stack it up against GIMP any day, Robdvn...

Author, you'll find that you can use a lot of basic Photoshop tutorials with Pixlr, since the tools are similarly marked. Selections are the most important thing you can master, and the Lasso Tool and Magic Wand will end up being some of your best friends in Photo Manipulation... Have fun, glad I could help!

Author, I'm not familiar with pixlr. I do know that many PXL members have used Gimp for top notch entries, so welcome to the site. Use what you can to produce awesome entries!

Author can I give you a tip? I understand Photoshop is out of reach for a lot of people, but there is a free open source alternative for it: Gimp. http://www.gimp.org/ You can also find a lot of good tutorials around the net. IMHO its a better alternative over all the other free graphic software which is around.

The left leg looks terribly deformed, not to mention much longer than the right...You also need cleaner edges where you cut yourself out of the original picture, there's a white line on the head and the right leg...

Since you don't have yellow sneakers, maybe you can put a fishing pole in your hand and a bobber in the glass.

Very cute author, You should enlarge the MAN image so his feet are in the water, it would help with the balance as well (IMHO of course)

Nice effect, especially the bits of color that come through.

This is a great idea!

Looks like one of my Buds we call him Hillbilly, good job on this fun picture.

Actually Author...you really kinda remind me of another crazy biker I ride with...LOL, no offense, but you guys have the same look

Nice! well done author
