Congrats!!

congrats

Congrats!

WooT WOOT! Congrats even with the squished lady

Congrats.....

YOU SQUISHED THE LADY!!! (the original photo) Super cool. While I understand Spaceranger's dedication to model builders... (If you ever meet someone who put a ship in a bottle, hide all your sharp silverware if you say TOY) I think this chop is simply amazing.

I do believe a model can be considered a toy for this contest, as many models are available at toy stores... granted, if you've ever been in a hobby store or specialty Model shop the sophistication and "adult" attitude required to assemble them is mind boggling. Ask any one who has done a wooden model that requires an EXACTO knife to cut out the pieces...Yikes, I could never do it, I like my fingers too much. GREAT WORK AUTHOR.. and good luck

I'm an avid model builder myself and I make very accurate and detailed models of aircraft, spacecraft and military models. Since this contest is more about Photoshop skills I won't be using my models in this contest. Most people may consider them toys but model makers don't. Using such a model does make believability in a real world setting easier. I'm not saying you're wrong, just that you didn't have to do any Photoshop work on the "toy" to make it look real.

I want to stress the point that this is NOT wrong or off theme! By definition a toy is "an object for a child to play with, typically a model or miniature replica of something: (as) a toy car." You did create a very good composition and the Photoshop work is quite well done. It's just my point of view regarding how the realism is achieved.

Pretty realistic. You might want to fix the reversed lettering on the background tank.

WoW !
To capture these guys simultaneously is a rare moment that requires a great deal of P A T I E N C E.
Good work, Author.

You did a good job.... congratulations for 4th....

Beautiful

great find and well done at that distance.

Sooper Moody! Love it

Yeah. I like this image better, the lighting looks good. Good luck!

This looks much better than the original dark version. But the moon is gone, I don't know if that was intentional or not

I know what you mean, I do the same thing, trying all kinds of versions of my image. This looks much better, we can see the details and it's still dramatic. Too bad about the tombstones, I assume you tried searching your history. Even without the tombstones this deserves a good score IMHO.

I see from your SBS a lot of work was done but I think the final image is too dark to appreciate the details (and I'm using a 27" high res monitor). You could brighten it up a bit and still maintain the drama.

This made me smile! I think if back ground was saturated a touch and de-noised it would give it a much more painted feel than photo. Great entry!

Where can I get one? I agree with CYMK on the lighting. The direction Your light source is coming from, you could darken the shadows on your pet a little more. Other than that, fine work author. Good luck.

Might want to soften a few edges, but the overall image & effect is good.

That is really cool !!!!....

Super great! Reminds me of the Jinn combined with the Never Ending Story I'm not going to mention the smell (according to the description) hehehe

fun creation author.

I think I know this... just for the glasses.... the hair...mmmmhhhh

aww so cute I want to adopt him!

WOOT! All fixed! COOL!

There goes the neighborhood, next stop Judge Judy LOL.. great job

Fur's a bit blurry, but good job with the lighting, and good humor.

What the hell is my damage? This is frickin' brilliant.. dammit, my memory... My apologizes for not recognizing this skill, I'll try to do better

Author got a spanking, Author got a spanking (just teasing) if you look at the HI RES you can see it.. sorta... hehehe... great idea, just wanna better vision.. as the two mods above just throttled you over... (hehehe) It's a hard contest, every time you have to work in a low res, it sends photoshoppers into a tizzy... damn resolution... Great help mods.. this is a tough contest

Lelaina is quite right. I copied your entry and changed the size to 100x100pxls and it looks just fine as it is in your high res but as Lelaina said your entry should be a higher resolution for better viewing. I'll hold my vote till you change it and ask other members do the same.

Author, did you work on 100 x 100 pixel, or did you work in a bigger resolution?
If so, then maybe upload the bigger resolution image, as this one is very pixelated. We can't see, what you did!
For the contest, you can upload the normal image size. The reminder with the 100 x 100 pixel was just, if the avatar is going to be used! (Because PXL avatars can just be max 100 x 100 pixel and 25 kb)

They are right ... What a shame for a so beautifull landscape ! Maybe with a square crop ?

I think you are right, the sky detracts from the photo.

For me, the sky is too blown out and detracts from the beautiful colors below. I would either:
A) Tweak the contrast/brightness/gamma to recover the sky detail or
B) Crop the image to exclude the sky/horizon making the colors in the foreground your focal point.
.....IMHO of course.
Good Luck!

Really love the work on this.

Real nice work, looks sort of like a painting

Now we got the winner! Awsome entry

Good work, but there's no image at link 3.
