the top hat... the black and white dots all over it. either you placed a dissolve blending layer to it (never do this) or you rendered a noise layer (do this) if you did the dissolve blending layer, then remove it and make a selection of the hat and render a noise to a new layer. With this new noise layer, use a Gaussian blur on it to match the blur of the hat. Use the "Opacity" slider for the noise layer and reduce the opacity to about 75%. Try a few different blending layer options to it... most likely "Overlay" or "Multiply" will yield the most desirable results... good luck!

Very ethereal symbolism here. The burning heart is my favorite part. I'm thinking perhaps your syllabic has something to do with a wandering mariner whom triangulates the stars.

Funny chop (I'm wondering if you shrink the Buffalo a bit more so his butt isn't hanging over the edge of the couch it might stabilize him more) all IMHO

SUPER DUPER FUN!

I don't vote on SBS steps, I vote on the final image, and in the final image, none of that work shows, which is what the contest is supposed to be about.

I have to disagree with both KY's and lemesa's comments. Too start with it looks like what was originally there of the girls hair/head is indeed still very visible in this picture. The high resolution and step 1 of the sbs clearly shows the hair has been masked well.

avatar Drivenslush

I disagree with you RickLaMesa, the SBS shows the extraction clearly and then the author incorporated it into the Poster design (Part of the problem with the contest is that image you MASK has to be combined with 5 other sources) and the author did a swell job IMHO

I don't see much of a masking challenge here...you cropped out most of the girl's hair in the source pic.

Hey Cabl and author , it's kind of hard to say what that Meercat is looking at...looks like it is an aficionado of Zoo Porn . Has it running on two computers and a couple examples of it hanging on the wall. That's one hard up varmint I'd say author. Hell it's tongue is even trying to get hard.

The 'vehicle' seems to break as it goes through the portal, because of the different angles of the submarine and the other part. Aprt from that, it looks great. I can imagine this on the cover of a SF book.

Buzz seems awfully dark in comparison to the car and the background...He also shows an obvious cutout line on the left hand side, where he is lighter along the edge than the rest of his too-dark body.

The car is also lit from an entirely different direction than the background (Side on the background, Upper Right on the car...)

If you shrunk Buzz and put him in front of the car, he wouldn't get lost against anything. Right now his head alone would just about fill up the whole front seat.
