The goal here is to take a photo of someone, and give it your best “Dragan effect.”
You have to achieve this effect with Photoshop, you can’t use in camera settings. Furthermore you are not allowed to use specialized filters, which can produce the effect in one click. After all this is a Photoshop contest.

97. They are Here
Contest goal: Recreate a famous scene from a tv series or movie and make it as recognizable as possible. The use of copyrighted sources is not allowed but you can use a photo as a reference… you’ll have to mention this reference.
Show us Disney’s Snowwhite and the 7 dwarfs, the ‘king of the world scene’ of Titanic or Al Bundy and his family at the sofa. It’s up to you, let your imagination run wild. You can either let members guess or mention the scene in your description. If you let members guess: do red flag your entry with the scene name so mods can check your entry.
96. Binding Newton’s Cradle
Contest goal:
95. Fish Aquarium Park

79. Odd Creature (iBurn)
Contest goal:
78. Miss 30 years
Contest goal: Recently there was the Young Again contest, so well… it’s obvious that now we do it the other way round! Pick a photo from a child (maximum 12 years old) and turn the kiddo into a grown up (minimum 21 years old).
You can create anything you like… for example, you can turn the face into an adult face by working only with photoshop tools… but you can also put a child’s head on a grownup body and add grownup characteristics to it. The important thing is that your photo should be convincing.
Good luck!
