very nice. i like the spiral effect. good luck.

He's holding a picture of himself holding a picture of himself etc. Great idea.

Fantastic. I really like this one because you cloned yourself. I like clones.

Excellent work! Very clever!

I was imagining how you could've done this work... Still think it's complicated... Amazing!

that's perfect !

That's a plugin !! Just write in google Droste effect plugin...

I spent 3 days working on this, would you like me to send you the photoshop file

Sorry......It's great Good luck !

Fantastic

Vinji, I understand you a a newbie. Don't accuse people of cheating before you look at their SBS. This is one of the coolest entries I've seen in this contest. GL!!!

Oh, and author for future reference, if you use an image of yourself in your entry, don't say it's you. It's against contest rules. You might want to change the title. I would REALLY hate to see this fabulous entry removed for such a technicality.

great work author! GL!

Great image, Like that you have cut the grass from the first image, thinking ahead, well done

thank you all for you comments but it is not me it is my husband, he named it but i will change the name

Ok well if it's not you then your fine. Maybe calling it Hubby and Hubby

You are a lucky woman :P

awesome work

Great work...

Congratulations on the first place!

Congrats, really well done

Congrats!!

congrats !

thank you ,there was some great work in this competition and I appreciated the comments and votes

Gratz! This is an awesome picture. Very much deservent of a first place.

congrats

Excellent...IMHO just a hint of color would make this better, but it's still a great job!

Thank you for your hint. Actually I tried the color version before deciding to convert it into BW. This one is more impressive in the aspect of showing the depth of thinking.

Fantastic image.. super creative! High marks

Great work!

great job blending

This is extremely clever...very well done!

Fantastic idea

I agree, this has far more impact as a b/w than it would in or with color.

Cool effect

Thank you guys. I was worrying that this work doesn't show the true droste effect by its definition because we can't see the infinity here but my idea is we can imagine that by other angle, it's absolutely infinite. Now I feel much more confident ^^

It's true that you can't SEE the inifinity, but it still is. In inifinity, you can never see the end, even though you still know that it's there.

You can't see the end of the infinity but that's because you covered it up. Clever idea. GL!

Congratulations on the top-three place!

Congrats!

grats

Thank you, my friends !!!

Gratz! Very awesome picture and I'm glad this got to the top 3.

One of my favourite artists on the site.... congratulations.

Oh wow, this is so tripy, and I love the black and white tones here. He looks like a very thoughtful man = )

details are too good.great work.good luck

Thanks, raki!

So cute!

Great work...very well done

hahahhaa funny

Lighting situations dont add up here, makes it akward to look at good idea though.

Edit : There is just nothing about this that feels real, sorry.

Well then can you at least give me an idea what to fix? I ran into the same idea but I didn't know what to do. I just assumed it was alright since there's no clear direction of light source and everything has the same color and brightness.

Oh and "awkward" is spelled with a 'kw.'

Thats how i wrote it . There is shade @ the top of the camera and seems to get darker to the right, yet the shadow on the ground goes the opposite direction :P

Okay, fair point. I'll try removing the shade. BTW: Cheater! The edit feature is handy, isn't it?

Alright, I brightened the top of the camera. Any better now? You have to remember that I have no clue exactly where the light is coming from, as it could be coming from the back just as well as from the top. I'm trying to keep lighting as neutral as possible because of this, though it's hard considering that the camera is slightly over exposed in some places.

Sweet!

Yup looks better, nice job

Look great to me!

Congratulations on the top-three place!

Congrats!

Congrats

congrats

Thanks all!

Very very cute and well done.

The style looks familiar, am I right?

EDIT: Yup Nice work as always author and a nice combination of the Droste effect. GL!

Wonderful!!!

A nice kind of optical illusion!...

I've been in love w/ real fractals and art that looks like fractals for a ver long time. Very interesting

Very nice work...gl

CONGRATS!!!

I like this one very much! The background gives it a magical feeling. Love to see a high res.

VERY nice, indeed! Hansel and Gretel come to mind, for some reason.

looks good

Beautiful.

Why did you change the background? I actually liked it even better before.

If childrens were not repeated ...it would have looked like a door way...which would give better meaning to it....

The pxl team tell me that i must change the backround because :

The image used for source 2, the floor and curtain, has been manipulated and enhanced by the author. Rules state:"DON'T use an image that has been previously manipulated into artwork, satire etc, even if it is offered under creative commons." You must replace that image with one that has not been manipulated and is also free of copyright.

Nice image, obvious background though, nothing really surprising, good luck author

It would have looked better if the repeated image were more centered as it repeated but it's not too obvious. GL!

I like this very much...good luck author
