Author, my hat is off to you...this is a wonderful image! Not just well chopped, but you've captured a fabulous little boy moment...I love this image. My only suggestion would be to make the grass greener. High vote from me. Reply »

very nice work and idea.. the only suggestion i have is play a lil more with the brightness contrast and check the kids hair.. perhaps my tutorial puss in boot is helpfull for you also theres some lines from cut out on the arm that holds the stick it seems with a soft blur brush you might be able to soften these..

nice! deffinately a top 3 entry! but try lowering the saturation on the grass and bringing up the lightness... it will make it more natural looking over all... looks pretty sunny, but the grass still looks shaded... Reply »

this is such a great idea! It would be perfect if the grass was a bit greener and the boy's outline was cleaned up a bit. Good! Reply »

It looks very nice, but the boy holding the stick has a black outline from the previous source around his head and arm. Remove that and your entry will be more or less perfect! Good luck! Reply »

I think real grass would be more effective, but still nicely done. Reply »
