Opposites - Photoshop Contest [10 entries]

Winning entry, with a score of:

63.3%

Contest goal:

The goal, to create an image incorporating two opposite objects or themes: Light/Dark, Above/Below, Happy/Sad, Confident/Frightened, Rich/Poor, etc.

You cannot draw the opposites, you must use photo images, and you must make them both part of the image scene you create. So no two photos side by side but 1 image containing both opposities... Consistent lighting, shadows, and color will be key, here.

Status: finished. Check out the winners below!

The picture of the girl in the carousel mirror inspired this piece. I wondered what it would be like for a woman to see herself having fun as a little girl again.

To bring the idea to reality, this required building the woman from the little girl's body. Lots of warp, smudge to paint, and color overlays to change the horse and saddle colors.

*Update* hand redone. (No suitable stock found; had to re-draw. SBS updated.) (5 years and 2855 days ago)

Many thanks to photographer, ACrazyCharade, for the prompt reply permitting me to use this great shot to let me express my idea.

The predominant tool of choice for this manipulation was Liquify on the woman on the left, to create a larger nose, double chin, fleshy cheek, shoulder and arm. Hair was made mousy color, makeup removed with a little paint, and blemishes added. For the woman in the mirror, hair was enhanced in volume and highlights, eyes brightened, lips plumped and glossed, and figure slightly augmented. (5 years and 2852 days ago)
