I will have to bow down here and totally agree with (CMYK46) about the DA stuff. This is in the true spirit of what photoshop is all about, not to mention the skill and artistic touch in bringing it all together. I really love this image, can I say love, sounds weird, but this is Totally Awesome, there that is better!

Yes I agree! And for some reason I would like someone to change clothes and/or generation look of the picture, but this one is right on theme!

Edit: I would love to see a: 70's, 80's, and then like 2011 look? Maybe even a photoAlbum theme!?

This has to be a fav.... this enry is the bar that others need to reach.... but well... I will give a congrats in advance for this entry.... even if it is the first one!!!! Superb Job, Author!

Very natural, I can actually see this one! Great job author, I was told, look at a girls mother if you want to see what she will be like in 10 years, this one is right on the button! Keep up the awesome entries author!

My suggestion is: Add different clothes to the after pic, and give a different generation appearance, that's just my Suggest (Most entries are missing that aspect and changing face but not clothes or background).... this is still like Awesome! in comparison to the others!

If I took my grandmother to glamour shots.... this would be the result, well this is probably, like 200X better, great job author! Maybe get a part-time job re-doing people's grandmas...... wait does that sound right? Anyway, Super Job author!

Edit: Add SBS and this is a Fav.... for sure!

Clowns are soooo scary... and the symbol clapping monkey is another thing my parents put in my bedroom to traumatize me when I was little... great work author, I may have to see that specialist again... lol... I'm kidding..... or I'm I? lol

Brilliant work here author!

(I think she would be a scout or sniper, instead of a warrior, just thinking of the mood and wording)..... aaaahhhh heck I gotta fav even if the name is off ... for me...... Super Duper Job!

Brilliant! Really creative here....very very nice work and fun too!

I don't know about the other comments, but this dude should be a presidential candidate? The world would be a better place!

They say, “When a person doesn’t understand, an artist is truly within his own!,” I’m trying to figure out, and looked at this for like 20-30 minutes, the scissors/metal-cutter, (looks like a pelican), I love this entry! But the cutting instrument is perplexing?

This entry is so easy on the mind and comprehended that most will not understand the work and imagination that went into producing it! Supper Dupper Job Author!

I was thinking launch also, maybe something additional in the foreground, I don't know much, but I know this is pretty awesome, superb entry author!

Edit: Is there a dog, ram, or other manipulation in the smoke/flames... looks like it?

This is so, Lil Bo peep, lol, where are the sheep, love this entry!

Very Very interesting, I think everyone has thought of going to the moon, escaping the world for the moon or reaching new platforms, great entry author!

Disturbing! but that is good, lol, nice entry author!

Clowns are truly evil… nice job author!

Love the orbs and the lighting! And the title is brillaint, I had to stop and think about it for awhile, very very nice, I don't think I can eat popcorn again without thinking about this entry!

P.S. a couple pieces of floating or starry popcorn would be cool...

Very Mysterious! As Drivenlush said, "I really want to know what's in the box?" Great execution author!

This is really super brilliant... put together nicely...and who wouldn't mind running into that bumper!? Just ingore my goofiness... Great entry author!

Your wording was correct, I just always let people know where nitpicks was originated from for some strange reason, lol, Once again really awesome entry and alot of attention to detail... keep up the great work!

Dang nitpicks, by the way nitpicks are lice being picked from the hair = nitpicks, but anyway, minor suggestions from pixelkid? It's a sign of being pretty darn good... Brilliant entry author!

This is brilliant and awesome and will just swell! Lol... I looked at the picture then at the source list, and thought this doesn't seem right?, lol, then I looked at SBS and realized you used alot of your own photos and artistry, and was just blown away!

Don't know why but I just really like waterfalls off the landscape in this contest! Great job author and looks like a tremendous effort... keep up the great work!

I really like this entry with the waterfall.... I gave it a high score (lol... my vote don't mean much) but something about the formation under the waterfall... needs something... so it doesn't seem out of place???

Lol! A bandaid or scissor strips on the nose would be over-the-top here... the title and eyes, with trim49's comments, made me laugh...

This is trully brilliant! I will have to do a congrates in advance! ;0)

Author,

I must rephrase my comment, my humor is at most minimal, your image sparks alot of ideas and memories of different moments in life and film, and the characters are brilliantly depicted! The color scheme is also awesome!

This is great author! Sweet and funny, I was thinking more drag... lol.... but this one fills the void and is nice, friendly, and perfect for this contest. Thanks for the great entry and smile!

nice clean image. great job starting off this contest. g/l

You have to have SBS if from scratch

I don't get it .... unless it is 420...... 2 light J.... or J 2 light?

weird, strange, weird, and really awesome! Great job especially in the SBS.... that's the show and what makes this brilliant.

2 years ago we had a Mexican riviera cruise scheduled, and because of the SwineFlu (remember that), it was redirected to Canada.... What? I packed all my tropical stuff... gggggrrrrr.... lol.... great entry author!

Great compilation author! I image more 007, mission impossible, or indiana jones, like a little toy gun or wipe in each hand, going for the treasure or secret.... what I think I have an idea for an entry... never mind author! lol.... truly brilliant entry.

Hitting the nail on the head! Bam! This is so funny, I always go to the book store, almost every payday, and look for something interesting or for self improvement.... and actually laughing here, this is or will be me in a few years. Brilliant concept and execution!

Something simple, sweet, and actually easy and pleasurable to view... nice work author!

There are many like it but this one is mine! I like what you have done here author, the theme is common, I still have to do one like this to mark it off, but this is awesome, I will be taking notes.

I really like the atmosphere you have going here! Great job author.

Brilliant chop! Must make typing really easy?

I like knotty girls! Don't we all?

This is awesome author! Keep listening to the comments and advice of members (well most) lol... and continue to improve and keep on chopping for us little turtles.

This is hilarious author!

Still a great work author! Don't let the voting fool you or other, this is the work that should have been on top or closer, the droid voting on this site is silly, votes for something totally different than the original, not even recognizable, but as long as the shapes, patterns, colors, are used, the ultimate outcome is: bring some picture or other creation or idea, and just use: patterns, shapes, colors, and such, and you will win, the highest scores on this site are ones the original is not even being able to recognize, just make sure you do an SBS.... and you are golden.

Everything is wonderful... the girl, atmosphere, and well the can brings the mystery and wonder into it all. Great job author!

Source is there.... somewhat.... but still.... with everything going on... great idea... I really love how you put everything together in a news real! ;o)

Really funny and cute... I like the reflections... g/l author

I would like to see the diamond sparkle a little and this would be a fav. and higher vote ;o)

My vote don't mean alot... but I really like this entry!

Lol on the theme... haters... when you try something that has already been done, so what, It's about each person's creativity and making it their own... as I learned in the military, "There are many like it but this one is mine!", and owning you did author, great job!

Now if the author posts seven more just like it then well... it may be over done... lol...

I'm sure you will get many congrates on this one author, keep up the awesome chopping.

Author,

I put in a very high vote on this one, hoping you will abide, and take out the 2 black birds and the dragonfly, my vote doesn't mean much but this image is a top, post me on the front winner without thus pesky critters holding it down. Best of luck and keep on chopping!

Woodz (Toby)

Edit....... (Gotta Fav now!)

Great entry author!

and RayTetwell... what there is no inspiration leading to people having ideas of their own or themes or anything else... white and dark chocolate... oooohhhhh.... clearly inpsired... What are you talking about!? EDIT: Ok I did a seach on the internet and Ray is right???? Admit it author, it wasn't a chop but, it was White chocolate covered Oreos!

Author keep up the Super awesome entries and leave people who make utterly nonsense comments wondering...

Slightly dressed woman, snake, skulls, sword, cracked earth setting, wood bench, wow.... is this heaven? or uhhhmmhhhhh..... Wait a minute... there no beer or T.V.... NOOO NNOOOO!
