Copy the other leg, paste in, and erase edges. Give it a try. Reply »

you could clone the other leg, also look at the "dirt" arround the ears and top of the cow head, another tip, rn a very small and soft blur over the edge of the cow the it blends in a lil beter with the background and very small mistakes will get masked somewhat with that technique too. I also sense some "lines"in your imagecaused by the fence that u removed, , theres one right above the cow eyes, one right thru the cow nose , a lil below that another, and thru his knees one too. as if you copy paste the cow in parts u should try cover that up a little better. But its a good choice of sources they fit well together. Reply »

It looks like you have little bits and pieces that need to be masked out above the head. I think fixing that will make this image much better! Reply »

I'll hold off voting since you're looking at submitting another after work. Here's something you might experiment with to hide the ghosting created from removing the wire. Try using a one pixel 100% Hardness setting on the smudge tool brush and set to 95% strength or a little lower or higher to flavor Click on strands of hair above the wire ghosts and try to follow the flow of hair to a point below the wire ghosting. This should net you some realistic looking cover-up.
I like the backgound choice, it really brightens up the scene. Reply »

Author, your background picture works very well with this source. You have done a great job getting rid of the fence wire. A couple of observations I have are: 1. The cow's right rear leg (to the viewers left) down low there is a green smudged area, try using a clone tool to fix that area. 2. The edges of the cow are a little hard, you might try using a very small size brush for your smudge tool and lightly brush out wards to bring out some "fuzziness" of the cows hair and as eladine say's the blur tool works good for stuff like blending edges too.
All in all a pretty good job. Reply »

Really nice....But: the legs look as if they are supposed to be hidden in the grass. But they have to be longer that where they stop. I say that because it looks like they stop at their knees. Unless they just have really fat ankles. Otherwise the animal is standing in the ground up to its knees. In which case there do not seem to be any holes for it to stand in. Basically, what I am saying is that maybe you should give it a background in which it has tall grasses to stand in. Or finish its legs and raise it up in the image.

Other than that, I kinda like it. It's cute. Reply »

Nicely done. The Life Saver looks like it's deflating a bit, but I really like how you've wrapped the water around the legs, Great job! Reply »
