Funny piece! Please fix link 2...

thanks for pointing out my link issue

Author, I really like your image, but you also need to post a source for the purple float thing under the kid.

no source for the raft, but I added to the sbs to show how I made it.

Entertaining! Pretty good blending, the only thing that bugs me is the top of the water to the under water transition, which would be nicer if you spent a little more time on that.

I guess I'm just confused as to why there are no fish drinking, but it's your image. Still a pretty good chop.

You could have made it look like the bear's weight was making an impression on the bed by liquifying the end of the bed, but it's still a nice job.
EDIT: Yes, better now...GL!

You must have made that edit CMKY suggested. I was just going to suggest that you adjsut the contrast up a hair on the guy because it looks like it came from a source that was outdoors, even without looking at your source. Good job and great chop overall though GL!.

Love the teddy bear. That's a nice touch. You did a good job on this. I gotta wonder, tho, how many tourists were eaten before they passed this law...

Nice work, very imaginative translation of this particular law. GL

The idea is excellent, but the execution leaves something to be desired, IMHO.

I understand and like I said in my description, I am mainly going for humor points. But hey, how often do you get to see sheep dressed like hookers?

It is quite funny! I appreciate you're going for the humor but one major problem is the shadow work behind the characters. Lose those they look unnatural and make the image look flat.

I made some changes. I changed the background. I agree with you on the shadows and decided to just go with the burn tool instead and I think it looks a lot better. I also made some adjustments in the resolutions to different parts of the cosumes and sheep because some of their clarity was different from the rest of the images. I just used the blur tool and gausian blur on some of them. Also adjsuted brightness/contrast a bit. I think it looks better.

It does look better now! Experiment next time, instead of burning the shadows (which limits any adjusting later) try making a new layer set to multiply, paint in a solid warm or cool black with a hard brush for the shadow then use gaussian blur to soften it and adjust the layer opacity to suit your image. This allows your background to show through and gives you more control.

I guess I am a little confused by your comment but I think I know what you mean. I will see what I can do but I might just leave it as-is, for there are some really good contests this week and I really want to enter as many as I can. I'm sure you see where I'm comming from.

Some shadows seem a bit dark, maybe blur them a little more as well.

mwahaha ahah ahaha ahaha....... oh god I almost pee'd my pants rofl!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keiley, you just made my day with your comment. Now the 16 hours I put into making this all seems worth while. You RAWK!!!

Once again, edit's made......

wow gread idea...guy is not blended very well...still points for the idea

Very cute idea and very stupid law to be sure. Good Luck!

Pretty small...might be better to replace the arrow with the "no camels" sign.

It does seem a little simple. Try to emphasise how retarded the law is by really making it obvious, maybe take up the whole sign, add a fake fine ammount, something like that.

I edit it, it is much beter thx guys!!!!! (sory for bad english)

Much better, good luck!

Better

Funny law but I must nitpick. The contrast of the police offices seems too light compared to the woman. Toning down the brightness in the background layer is probably not a bad idea either.

She does stick out a lot. But I LOVE this image. Look at dude's expression!!!!

Gotta up the levels on the cops a bit...

Fifty pounds????

im moving to Idaho then roflmao.... thats for sharing that info
