Congrats HavingFun!

Congrats!!

Congratulations for 1st

Just a suggesting, I would adjust the brightness/contrast a litle bit more to make it look less layered but kudos to the idea.

you found a great source, my suggestion is to try to make the horses all the same color, so slightly more brown with less contrast might make him fit in very well.

simple...and looks nice

ponti55: why the horses all the same color? Due prejudice the black horse went to the wrong way!!!!!!!!

very nice idea

Congrats for another first place!

Congrats, well done

Congratulations for 1st

great work

great job at keeping it real!!

quite good.. i'd maybe push his cheeks in a bit because smiling and having a sad face don't effect the same muscles. also, remove the writing on the photos, i think it's quite obvious which is which. and one last thing; change the title.. "miracle of photoshop" just sounds cheesy imho.

elficho. thanks for the great support. Improved! sometimes little details make a great difference.

I just looked at this picture for 10 minutes and I still don't know, how to describe what I mean... First of all: you did really a great job! It looks very good and almost convincing. My problem is, that he still looks around his mouth, as if he is smiling. Of course he doesn't smile, but I just have the feeling as if. And I think it's because of his cheeks, what Elficho already mentioned. When you smile, you have these two "crinkles" next to your nose, that lead to your mouth (hard to explain that in English...) But when you look sad, your cheeks are almost totally even...

Of course the man has a lot of wrinkles, but I think it could look much more real, if you'd make the cheeks a bit more even, so you don't have the impression, that he's still smiling. I know, that you already worked on them, but maybe you could improve it. I don't know, if it will look better or worse, but maybe it's worth a try. Ok... I probably could have written that much shorter, but I wanted to explain it I really like your image and I just want to help. Good luck!

good work and i like this pic, but i think the sad face its still look like a happy face, good luck!!

Great change

Pretty ok, but Lelaina is right. These "wrinkles" that she mentioned are there because the guy is smiling. If he'd be sad, the "corners" from those wrinkles would go down too, in more or less a same certain result as when he's smiling (maybe less strong because the skin could act different when it's going downwards). If you can fix that, it can be a very believable result. Good luck!

Thanks my friends !
You were right about the wrinkles. I hope that now is better

Yup, certainly better! Maybe one more tiiiiny nitpick: the nostrils are still too high (guy was laughing, so then you get that). Use liquify carefully to push them somewhat down and you're there . Good luck!

Done! Is fantastic to receive support from a PRO. Thanks

Looks way better now! Good luck again!

Adorable! I want that doggie!

Very well done indeed!

I like the idea, but i think you should put the zebra head texture more to the left, so that the tuft of fur is between the eyes, just to make it look more.. symmetrical. Good luck!

Ponti55...about your comment: but i think you should put the zebra head texture more to the left, so that the tuft of fur is between the eyes, just to make it look more.. symmetrical....... now with symmetry. But at animals sometimes the symmetry does not happen. Anyway, thanks for your suggestion.

You can see the work at the last step...
