nice shot

Good try, but it could use more DOF and the highlights are blown.

Fantastic... and perfectly on theme. Great emotion in the picture.

Excellent theme match! GL!

This is just tooooo precious! Great shot and you have to keep it so you can blackmail her someday with it!

lovely colours, just a little too soft

WILD!!

is Photoshop use allowed in this contest?

The HDR isn't really working for me in this shot and I think the pic itself could have stood on its own without the treatment

Well. I'll be... That's what the Dormouse said!

congrats..well done

congos on ur win...was my fav

kinda luvin it
lovely !!!!

Now that is creative thinking! good job

lovely composition......really gud shot.

well done for trying to keep the source colours in tact but I think it needs a little orange boost to make it more "pumpkinyfied" (I have the patent on the word) ...... at the moment it looks a little "appleyfied" (also my word) lol..... best of luck author

GORGEOUS!!!

different! I like!

what jawsh is meaning I think, is the focal center of this image is not the center of the thumb or finger. It means that although the dof is good, it is not central to the shot and throws the eye off. The image is oof just above the center of the fingerprint, just where you would expect it to be sharply focused.......

Good entry..well done!

If you have a high res, I would suggest uploading it. It will help with your score. It seems your center focus could have been better but still nice detail in the ridges. GL!

Looks better...GL!

Give the pumpkin some thickness.

looks like youre getting the hang of photoshop...keep it up

the flowers look a little blurry

Like how you brighten the light behind, gj

like the image her face is a little wide though

good

she's pale and the sun makes her skin look awesome imo

While the 'after' makeup and hair highlights are more glamorous, her skin tones are too yellow for me (although better than the red of the source).

the resulting pic is quite lovely, I love the fact that a light explosion behind her doesn't take anything away from her sweet expression.. good luck author

You can disagree on the color, but the head is still distorted...

agreed on the tones, but head is distorted in a good way )))

Skin tones are too yellow, head is distorted...check original pic...

Why the blood ??

off theme

Good Luck

freaky disturbing

step 3 is better

your idea is good, but image become flat

it has a marilyn manson look to it i love the description also!

What's the source for the girl pic?

YIPE YIPE YIPE YIPE... hehehe.. nice effect.. very well done.. and usually goth is the easy way out.. but this is very well done

all it is is the poppy field and the source image

This is a good premise, but the brightness of the clouds seems to distract me from the girl, who shpould be the focal point. I think this is a real tough one to get the lighting right.

Good Luck

good thought, but the distance from the ground is not ok(look like no legs)

like the idea but the masking of the hair needs some work as does the front of the dress --edges are too smooth and lack detail

I have sat and looked at this image for 10 minutes...I really like it but there is something distracting my eyes in the center...Maybe tone down the background clouds to give more of a contrast against her?? Still a nice image and Good Luck
