you need to add a shadow or a little "burn" at the bottom of his feet to make him look more grounded and not as if he were floating

Thanks. added some burn so hopefully it looks better.

much better

There should be doll guts squirting out...that would be way more fun!

Haha that's a great idea, I will work on that.

Doll guts? bwaaahahahaha!!! Let's see... that would be stuffing, splinters, maybe a few paint chips and torn fabric...right?

Anyway, there is something that needs adjusting with the color difference between the dolls and the car. Try a color balance adjustment - add a little more yellow/green to the dolls to tone down the bluish color or more red/blue to the vehicle image to tone down the greenish gray, or some combination of both.

On the boy doll's side near the car, he seems to have a drop shadow where there shouldn't be one.

Added some guts (stuffing) and adjusted the color balance so hopefully it looks better. thanks for all the suggestions people.

love how your work is growing and developing. The changes you have made since submission has improved it greatly... Will hold off vote util end of the week .. who knows what may happen in the next few days....

great entry author , keep up the good work.

Thanks.

Looks great now!

eeeeeew - gross!!!!!!!!!! LOL!

Great improvements, author!

yaa nice work......... does seem like some effort's gone into it...

Thanks!

my imagination run wild again.... another concept can be an open car door, a man/lady steps out of car and accidentally steps on the doll-lady, doll-boyfriend horrified

Super cool concept author...Like how u maintained their faces...best of luck

Thanks everyone.

and aheman I love that idea and have been trying to incorporate that into the picture but I haven't figured out how to do it and am not sure i will before the contest ends. i will keep trying but i just wanted to say its a great idea.

Does anybody remember Mr. Bill?

Very realistic...GL author!

Thanks!

Well done!

no doubt it's a texture map that did the trick... I like it

Thanks lbadge and aheman!

Thanks for the suggestion. I broke up most of the lines with the cloning. it looks better now

nice effect you hvae here! Very appealing

Very well done ... A thought for future enties ... you may get a better score if you can include a step-by-step (SBS) description of your work process ... just take screen prints as you go along, then post them with a brief description ... that'll do the trick .

congrats

Congrats!

Very nice job. Good SBS.

This is a pretty good piece. I really like it. I do have a couple of suggestions though and will wait to vote. First, do a little research of the size of a lion relative to a zebra. Your picture seems like the lion is a bit large. If both are in the original then I will just accept that I know very little about lions and zebras Second, putting one of the frames in front of the lion might add a little more dimension. Finally, the exposure on the hands doesn't really match. Not sure how to fix it, just seems not quite right. Just some food for thought.

thanks for your suggestions. Instead of making the lion smaller I made the zebra a bit bigger. I moved both animals to the left and put the frames in front of their tails to make it seem more like they are in the pictures. And lightened up the hands to make them a bit more pale because the whole picture kind of just has a pale look to it.

i like the concept. maybe darken the background a bit, to draw attention to the photograph frames?

also, there are some sort of mask on top of the animals, is a little distracting.

I lowered the brightness of the background and it does help the foreground pop out a bit, thanks. and the mask that is over the photographs is suppose to be some gloss how pictures have, but I lowered the opacity of it over the animals.

Very cool image author...one of the best ideas for OOB image...u should fix some minor details such making edges of animals bit softer and maybe with smudge tool u could work on hairs and fur....also, this is OOB image but don't forget shadows...GL

He's very cute and funny author good luck

Thank you!
