Great idea! Just one suggestion: change the color of the girder behind him to be more like the others. Right now it almost looks like part of his head. You might want to darken the little guys as they recede into the background, to create depth. GL author.

Nice execution

good one. but the shadows are in the wrong position. look at the source image and fix the shadows, that will make this image look strong. good luck

that's fun

Thanks guys. Shadows adjusted and hi-res added.

Nice Work, I like the idea

Nice Work, I like the idea

This is really nice! One nitpick which would put this over the top is the exhaust pipes. The need to be moved down a little so they look centered on the top. Right now they look like they are coming out of the other side. Good luck!

Wow, that took some time huh.

chalty,s comment echoed, smoke stacks look like they are on the side at a angle.the rest is very good.

Congrats!!

congrats

nice idea,creative work

Thanks all

great idea,very nice!

Not bad at all. The statue texture in the middle/blending section would have made it even more realistic. Very nice..

great,gl

Nice work.....

Thank you all

Hahahaha...great blend...GL

Congrats for your second place, Barnacle!

Congrats!

WOW thanks a lot, this was quite unexpected

Congratulations for 2nd

Congrats on 2nd place!!!!

Nice job on the horses. IMHO the frame is distracting, but if you want to keep it please post a link for it...

if you leave the frame and make it complete and then mount it on a real wall (proper shadowing etc...) it will make the image pop.. but over all.. it's a very exciting and happy image... lots of energy (not happy HA HA.. but Happy "I'm going to get that promotion do to hard work" hehehe IMHO

EDIT: you are a bit unfair choosing horses.. they always make my heart melt

Very nice work! The frame is just killing it for me. It doesn't quite match the photo-quality wise and lighting/color is fairly flat and boring and detracts from what is otherwise a beautiful piece. The only other thing I noticed was the lighting seems a bit off on the horses. The direction of light doesn't really match the position of the shadow. Also maybe have some cast shadows from the railing? Not trying to nitpick, just a giving a few suggestions you may or may not find helpful . Overall, great job though.

i agree about the frame not being needed... but I think it would have worked great if you did one of the pictures where the front of the horse is literally coming out of the frame, like hes jumping out of the picture. Good luck!

Thanks for your comments guys

Haha! I said to my self "running free" before I even red the name Awesome job! Good Luck

veeeeeery nice!

love the introduction of the horses into the source.

Haha, nice!. But the third dog over has this highlight that doesn't make sense in the picture and the lighting on the doberman face is more flat than the others. GL!

Agrees with elinoree. Middle dog and one to the left need to be better blended. I would just try adjusting the contrast on those two. Good idea overall.

Like it !

Oh, my dog... err, oh my God! Funny! Specially the 4th dog, his expression matches so well...

Good find for the expressions with nice result though I also agree that at least the dog in the middle can do with a bit more contrast or perhaps play a bit with the levels so the head matches better with the body. Minor detail: would be nice if you could match these dogpeople's shadows (ie the one in the middle, you'd see the ears now + rounder head). Good luck!

Thanks for the tips and ideas. Am completely out of idea's and have lost the will to care recently. Pathetic entry which turned out kinda funny. I will not be editing

lol i remember some poster that looks quite like these in my younger age nice work author!

very good! I like this one

Kind of reminiscent of those old velvet paintings of the dogs playing poker and pool. Nice job. GL
