Hey! You got exactly 420 votes. How stony is that? Well deserving winner BTW. Congrats!

great Idea author.. maybe just the itsy bitsiest bit of contrast to the girl.. she matches almost too much to the background and I'd like to see her more.. (Excellent work by the way) (she's completely lost in the thumbnail.. great to see her in high res)

great idea !

I really really really like this!

gud idea,but girl doesnt look so real,use some color adjustment to match the girl with background

This totally messes with my mind. Great job!

very good job

Either I'm baked out of my mind or WOW did this image really mess with my head. I had to just stop and stare to figure it out and very clever idea indeed. (ok maybe it's both) Well done!!

Congrats for your second place, Geexman!

Hey, friend! Congratulations!...

Congrats!

Congratulations for 2nd

Congrats!

You need at least one intermediate step between your source and your final result, I can't see what you did with your source. Comparing the 2 images, I'm sure that they are not the same, it's like you use other photo, not the source you provided and I'm sure that you took one more photo of the room reflection in the mirror, so you don't have to re-create image of the room where the man's reflection stood. Sorry to say that, but if you did that, it's like cheating to me because it's much easier to you, while some people can think you re-created the room perfectly only based on the source...

1st. step and 2nd. step both pics are differents... But it's a good work even so!

nice work

The steps that he must have taken to do this seem so simple that I wouldn't have bothered with a more detailed SBS either. Seems it would be kinda redundant. He said that the images are his own. But author: I think you still have to post your originals. I like it.

yes you are right langstrum.. alot of steps have been skipped.. I'll be good author if you add those missing steps, it'll result in good voting and high marks.. wht I think is that you have taken atleast 2 pics and probably using a tripod.. 1 of the empty room with just mirror as subject.. 2 by standing in front of the mirror... and blended both of them using masks.. if you can show us the mystery part its going to be the strongest entry in this contest.. please do so author..

Whoa! Well done.

Thanks for the comments.
I have added a second image to the SBS.
These are the only two images used, however, I took several photos to begin with, and uploaded the wrong one for the SBS by mistake. Sorry for that. This has now been corrected, and well spotted Langstrum,
I simply cut out the image in the reflection and rotated it. Moved it a little so the fingers touched, then used details from the blank image to correct the background. Also took a little weight off

good work

Simple yet effective. I chop my own photos too.

Congrats for your third place, Phillp!

Congrats!

Congratulations for 3rd

Congrats!

Great idea! Spot on...

wonderful !

She looks very sceptical... =) I would too. Nice work!

Good idea, the hand on the screen needs some work, there is kind of a blur around it.

Barnacle, in high res i think the hand looks very natural around the screen.

thanks guys for ur comments

Great idea...this is every of us at 4 a.m....LOL...good luck

That is really cool, however, I wish the baby were in the same focus as the rest of the picture. Everything has a nice Gaussian blur to it and that baby is just crystal clear. Evening out the tones and sharpness of the three main items would really add to the painterly quality of it. Nice job overall though for sure!

thanks elinoree! for the bg part i was attempting to create a bit of depth by having distant objects less in focus... and the baby is in focus becase it is the main object, as is the dad, jsut the dad is swaying slightly in the air which is why he is less in focus... guess if i have to explain it i didn't do a good enough job showing it ;] Thanks for your thoughtful input!

lol... funny

The idea is good, I really like it, but execution needs some improvements. Looks like you're hiding some mistakes on the layer of the father by blurring. You can say it because of the DOF, it's alright, but I can't imagine the father is not in the same plane with the child (because the his shadow is as sharp as the shadow of his kid). Moreover, the right hand of the father needs to be recovered, looks like he loses fingers. Just my opinion, don't take it offensive. Good luck, author

no i was not covering up any mistakes... all blur added was simply for effect... i think i can stand to blur the father's shadow a bit more... thanks for your comments!!! ;]

i like this...

Nice one...gl

what a great idea funny

I think a better source image would have eliminated a lot of your problems to begin with.

she's on steriods!!!!!!!
