Interesting idea. I might have made the carriage just a bit more transparent, but it works. On the SBS, possibly some written explanation would help. GL author.
(On second look, lightening or even eliminating the shadow could help the illusion, but that would be a LOT of work!)

The "Illusion" Is spectacular. The only suggestion is Placing the original Mask on the top layer, then PAINSTAKINGLY erase the interior leaving the edges intact. I've always had difficulty with making "see through" and I've always find that having the edges present adds to the effect. GREAT IDEA ALL ROUND. Excellent in fact An absolute Masking nightmare, and you did it amazingly

made some improvements and also added a additional highres version in the sbs (step 9)

The edges look fine to me, and the lack of shadow definitely improves the illusion. I'd still like to see more transparency, but that's up to you. Over all, a fine job.

Congrats!!!

Congrats!!

very pretty author.. (do have to say that the color scheme is a hard one.. hehehe.. you did a great job

wow..........another master of liquify .......wonderful....

Im not shure if the color is right. I have a new Monitor which issnt really calibrated. :-/

its a wonder,without using any additional sources to edit pic.,can say its a pure creation

It's not your monitor Author.. the source pic really looks like baby vomit.. hehehehe

Very well done - it needs too much patience to make a work like this; have a glass of passion fruit juice and everything calms down!

Nice

Lovely amber coloured beastie

great one

beautiful entry and nice details.......... wish u high marks..............

wishing you the best.... good work....

Congrats! for 3rd place

Congratulations!!!!!!

Congrats ..........

Congrats Solaris....

Congrats!!

Good job! Congratulations!

Love what you do!

Hilarious and kinda creepy at the same time...nice job!

Haha, excellent! Great blending, author!

strangely fantastic!!!

LOL! This is great! I was looking at your image for some time, and come to the conclusion that with that perspective you should remove the tail and the leftover part of the right leg(on the left one). Just to make sure, I removed it myself and I think it looks better. Up to you though. Good job and good luck!

Just the sort of stuff I had in mind when I made the sontest suggestion - great job!

roflmfao.... brillian ;P

It's a perfect imperfection! Nicely done!...

HAHAHA! That is awesome!

I think you could be right Chalty669, so I recloned them. Somehow I think the precloned version has more personality even if the perspective lacks. It´s walking, to keep balance it could look a lil weird.
Im still not shure about. (the precloned version is visible in the SBS) meanings about the versions could help me. Is it better, or was it better. Thanks so much for all your kind comments

I'm not sure what other people think, but I think it looks better. I can't really find anything wrong with it now. Before, it just seemed off somehow. I think it has been corrected.

now that I slept about it, you where right chalty. Thanks again for your comment.

Incredibly funny image, superbly executed!!

I liked the tail in the original version. I think they should both have tails.

Very good chop.

Congratulations!

Congratulations for 3rd

What a beautiful idea! I love it

i realy like how you managed to make the background look untouched... very nice work...

very good! i like the rays too

Nice reconstruct.. good luck.. I gave you a very high mark.. but I can't help but think you had something bigger in store.. but that's just me.. (I still think you have something bigger in your mind.. hmmmmm) of course I see things very weirdly .. I'm sure you have much more that will happen

Well done, I hate Disney too Nice job on the restore

ha ha ha golem, ... i think im ready with this one, but may i have some other ideas in petto will see, actually i never know it myselfe Bobvdn: im planing a song whitch you could like if you dont like disney I´ll give you a link if i will publish it

There's something strangely alluring about this entry.. it hooks you in around the solitude of the piece.. creating a sort of happy depression.. very deep thinking entry. Good job, and good luck.

Great job! Love the simplicity (please don't touch this, it's fine) and nice work on the retouching.

thanks cmyk. i wont tuch it only if i found some areas that need a lil more retouching. Actually i left one issue in, to see if someone spot it just like a search and find for enthusiastics But i remove that before deadline

i think you did alright repairing thepic, however, the hi res is horrible! the picture looks good so im not gonna rag you about i! good work author and i do with good luck to you i hope youll fix the entry because really, is cool!

i appreciate the time it must have taken to get this right lol... well done author, looks good the way it is

@ Tuck: The hi res is horrible? Care to explain? I've been all over it, and it looks damn good to me...

your pic looks fantastic, great restoration.

This has great atmosphere! And, author, what a great job at getting rid of the baloons u did! Very nicely done, good luck!

great looks real

In the high resolution there are a few spots either side of centerline where the grid pattern of the ceiling that do not match very well, while not terrible they are quite noticeable...in general this is a fine entry and a good reconstructing job those minor glitches do not take away from the vote you received from me, nice job overall author!

So alone.... makes me feel sad! but thats good... your image has grip.. Its very good!!! Good luck!

thanks alot for all your comments appreciated Tuckinator: im glad you found as much issues as me .. but with the most of it im fine, and some will be changed tomorrow.
edit: i refined my retuching. sbs add is on the way.

Glückwunsch zum 3.!
