Very nice. The ground lamps' perspectives are off (should be looking down on, not up at, them), however. Reply »

This is really well thought out and I really like the lighting you've achieved, but your SBS leaves much to be desired. Reply »

Reply:

I did that because a mod asked what the source was for the sign and ladder. But there's none and it's easy to make it yourself. IMO its about the outcome and not about the SBS... Reply »

Reply:

Author, I agree with you that the final outcome should be more important than the SBS. When I first started submitting entries I didn't want to make SBS's because I had just spent all this time on my image. I then realized that it let people see how much work really goes into your work. I also think this site is a learning environment because the SBS's. I enjoy your work and look forward to seeing more.

The restaurant extraction is indeed awesome. But I think the airstrip is too hidden. I would move the left and right sides of the restaurant away from the center and toward their respective edges in order to open up the middle to reveal the arrows on the runway more. That would also allow the yellow warning sign to stand out and be a greater focus. Reply »

Thanks! the cut out took me a few hours
Changed a few things, opened up the middle a bit and brought in a bigger closer airplane, changed a few colours, the mountain is brighter too.

Nice idea, perspective of KFC building is off.

EDIT: Great update. Much better now Reply »

Reply:

Clever idea (although a KFC in the West Wing of the White House itself would be more compelling). nasirkhan is right on about the perspective. The KFC source pic's horizon line (which would be the location of the KFC's vanishing point) appears to run roughly at the level of the bottom 0 in the house number on the far edge of the building -- which is well below the horizon line in the White House pic.

I get it. But I don't think that it's funny. Reply »

Oh, I love KFC!!! The secret seasoning of 11 herbs... yum! Unfortunatelly we don't have KFC in Brazil anymore... Reply »

Reply:

Thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions. I tried to adjust the grade of the south lawn I hope the Chicken house's perspective is better. Erikuri, my fried chicken is way better than the Colonels, besides if you eat too much KFC it'll make you fat, lol Reply »

Reply:

Much improved perspectively. And bigger is indeed better! Plus I think the "no jobs" on the sign adds a hint of political commentary. [Not clear if downoffthedragon merely doesn't find the image humorous (not a requirement of the contest) or if he/she disapproves of disrespecting the White House (a legitimate opinion).] Reply »

Reply:

I chose the Kentucky Fried Chicken building because I like their colors, Red, White, and Blue. Therefore my title: "American Classic" Reply »

Reply:

looks very good Reply »

Reply:

@DanLundberg: Yeah, it was about the disrespect, mostly because of another comment posted here. I appologize for getting all political here.

@Author: "American Classic", cool. Reply »

Author, I totally agree with you! No, I don't use to eat so much fried food, I get sick, and I know it's not good for health. I hardly ever eat a tempura (japanese fried food)... But I like the KFC seasoning... If you say your fried chicken is better, send me some for e-mail!!! Reply »

you bet ya chitlins ar dang good eating and i hope to someday try that chicken. Love it fried woot!! yummy Reply »

Reply:

from regular view this looks pretty good and was well thought out. With the large preview you can tell the KFC is of a lower resolution. I would've suggested either downsizing the total image to match the KFC source or you could have downsized it and then upsized it so it was also pixelated like the KFC source. Reply »

I would actually like to go there. Reply »

Reply:

dont take me wrong. the idea is great, but the place looks empty and abandoned. maybe if you put some people around in spacesuit and a spaceship in the driveway makes it look more realistic. I wiil hold my vote for now. good luck Reply »

Reply:

Light on the building is from upper right, and opposite on the rocks. Reply »

Reply:

I agree about light...But idea is great if u fix that u will have great image.Just flip the rock and do some masking...best of luck author
edit:and u could create some sphere maybe... Reply »

Reply:

awesome Reply »

Reply:

Very creative use of Source 3 (Arizona rock formation), but lighting could be refined and the image does seem lifeless with all the dark windows. Reply »

Reply:

I'm wondering how to get there to have a lunch... Reply »

Reply:

Thanks for the comments guys, I`ve neutralised the lighting and burned and dodged to preserve some highlights hope its better . As far as the lack of life, I chose an abandoned looking source on the basis that being a resturant in an unusual place wouldnt get alot of trade . I`d rather stick to that theory based on this restaurant being highly inaccessable but I do respect your opinions. Reply »
