Any high res available for this old man with lesser eyesight?

Cool mood and good OOB.

I personally LOVE O.O.B. imaging...so naturally this intrigues me. Nice job, author! I actually really like the white space...it allows the focus to really happen where you want it.

nice out of canvas work

It's really cool effect and stepping out of the frame concept works really well with the overall image, well done

That's so cool! I love that he's stepping out of the frame!

Beautiful work. One of the best...
Good luck, author.

such a wonderful entry.. (only in hi res, the hair in front looks a bit sharp, but I'm not sure, can't really see it clearly, just a wonderful feel all round)

Very good mood, love this one ! maybe you can work a little bit on the hairs it make too much like cut, if you use a fusion mask you can make it more fluid Good luck author

Yes, i agree completely, i worked on the hairs but the front part wasn't enough, i'll work on it again. Thanks for the feedback!

Really nice. I like the mood. Good job on the color matching.

Lovely entry. i especially love the birds in the background, excellent addition to your image.

beautiul....!!!!

Great composition and mood! Nicely done!

CONGRATS AND WOO HOO!!!

Congrats!!

Congratulations, lovely mood.

Congrats for first place!

Congrats, very well done

Congrats

selections around the hair could use some blending work. try using a layer mask when you extract things.
also, the background could use some realism. instead of a dark sky with a noise filter, perhaps use an actual picture of a night sky.
also, the mask looks flat compared to the face, like a cut out placed over a picture. using some blending techniques and perhaps something other than straight black would help.
We are all here to learn... i wish you luck!!!

Thanks this is what I was looking for Thanks Thanks

Lovely, I am the running princess
Best of luck author!
