Nice chopping! Good work.

Nice. Add some more blur to the flowers in the back and -if needed- also a little bit of blur in your background, so that the DoF works better and the flowers in the foreground will pop out more. Good luck!

just between you and me.. you received WAY to low of score for this entry.. yes it could have been cropped but you really did a great job on this.. please don't let the low score on this effect your work.. (I get them all the time but I continue to endure)...

I feel ashamed that I didn't comment on this..but I'm always fighting the monsters.. good work all around

wonderful self work.. I LOVE THIS IS YOUR OWN PHOTO.. so refreshing... keep up the great work (love the blending)

nice blending author...gl

Cool

lol, creative = )

Pretty good environment blending! looks pretty realistic ! The shadow on the (grey) rock on the right seems a bit odd though?

GL author !

haha well well indeed didn't expexted this solution...
You mayby could adjust the man head a bit more !

WOWWWW !!! a computer nursery!!!!

You work in an Apple orchard?

Yumm-o!

I swear on my life my 12 yr old son just asked me that a week ago! Then he had to figure out why the good woman and I were crying/ laughing!

Well, this is a cheap way of making it work, but color matching would have been far better, and shown off your PS skills as well.

Agrees with CMYK46... Maybe adjust the Hue a bit

Good idea! Some color matching would really help.

Nice... but need to remove the date

Good idea. The sbs suggested that. Image should had said that. A very subtle changes on reflections would make this a very good one. GL

i so agree with Val on this one...Idea is top notch and i am sure that u could very easily find some usable image...Also u could add some curves on the reflection because around fire is very very hot air and he is responsible for the curved reflections...best of luck author

A really good idea but you should really think of a better way to present it because at first I was really struggling to spot how you actually changed this from the original...GL

At first i was like: why would you enter a croped image of the source, but after reading your steps i got it.
Try to find some stock with fire and buildings make a normal image and then warpe it in the reflection, cause right now we can see it's only a drawing.

you should remove the time stamp...

cool shot author

Yummy, nice one, would crop down here imo!

Grandpa's rock!

OMG PUT THAT THING IN A CAGE! lol

hey thats pretty neat, but the with the thought of a load bearing structure sitting on something hollow i would't be so relaxed....Good Luck

very clever entry.. (take a BIT of saturation out of the door and it will improve the realism(some burn too.. if you got time)).. I really love the simplicity and the beer bottle throws it over the top... GOOD LUCK

Nice! Looks like tons of fun!

ouch!

I had a closet like this growing up! Drove my mom nuts!!!

Nice idea. I would suggest a little noise or blur on the human, as he is a little crisp compared to the rest.

...i think the tenticles/legs would wrap around the platform. Also looks a bit bright compared to image. Just don't sit well IMHO
