Not really a tongue twister, but not a bad job (except the the mismatched lighting)

Not the best of results, but really good to see youre taking some of the suggestions on board and playing around with things - the top 3's will come (hopefully for me too at some point

more of a limerick than a tongue twister I'd have thought - but I'm not judging you on that at all . Not a bad job but the guy looks a little to calm considering he has a monster on his line and is about to be pulled in...

It'll always be hard to get the perspective right as the tat was not drawn to scale or with a perfect perspective. I think youve done a very good job getting it as close as you have (and nice job cutting it away from the overly cluttered image you had in before). Great work.

That's what I was picturing Loopyluv, the pic of the guy smiling in the hospital bed is a good start - just find 9 different nurses (or a couple of different and manipulate them a bit yourself), and put them around him. Even a pic of a guy drooling would be appropriate

If you tried and it didnt look like you wanted - then I applaud you for leaving it out. The image is still lovely, and it would be a shame to darken out such a cute little face anyway! I hope you don';t take any offence to my suggetions, just trying so share my perspective. Good luck in this contest - you clearly have one of the best chops here. Cheers

nice effect and choice of scenery too

If you can, move the bug 'closer' to the vials so he can remain in focus. Nice masking work though

Not bad, but if the sheet was slit, the background colour would shine through, not a black-white gradient

yup, really need to fix those shadows

Obviously a beginners job, a couple of quick comments. Play around with the different masking tools, particularly the pen tool, and have a go with dodge/burn to get some depth in the cloth - add creases, shadows and highlights. Have a play and look at some online tutorials - but keep practising and having fun!

Good job, perhaps if you give the man a subtle blue overlay so he better matches the lighting in the room it will help him blend in better (oh and darken the foot a little too). But a really nice job!

... because the front of her dress and part of her arm are dark, at least the right side (or left as we see it) of her face would be a little darker. I am happy for ther to be another light source, as long as it is consistant. I guess you dont have to follow the rules of convention if you have multiple flying stars though .

The dog just looks a bit too 'pasted on', some shadowing might help

This is truly gross! Nice

This is a simple but powerful photograph, I think it fits the theme perfectly, I challenge anyone not to feel upset in someway by what happened on that platform!

Very nice, I like that you kept the ascending path in the shot.

This just gave me a shiver. I am so very sorry for your loss and thankyou for the sacrifices made by you and your family. A wonderful pic and would be a deserving winner

B7w was a good choice, nice capture - emotive

A very sad sight indeed, the barron surroundings add nicely to the effect too.

Just beautiful, great technique and a wonderful model

Beautiful eyes but not the best capture i've seen

I agree with Josh, what is it that makes them benevolent?

Very nice capture!

Sorry but this is a pretty poor job, the cutting out was clearly done quickly and there is little overall asthetic appeal imho. There was a lot more potential in this tongue twister.

Plenty of tutorials on this, and something you'll have to learn if you want to continue in photoshop! Good luck...

I would probably darken her arm and face just a little as the light source is behind her, but overall a nice chop.

I just noticed the shadow is off too, it keeps the same shape as the shoe, it doesnt taper off, and doesnt meet the base of the shoe or heel properly. Did you just make a copy, and slide it to the right? If so, try using the perspective tool.

I love a good steak!!! You made me hungry! On a more serious note I do see them as more than meat though, I love milk and they can also be a source of amusement when tipped over

The funny thing is that this shoe has really existed! Gotta love the 60's

I like the idea but the chop isnt great, if you want to use a staircase you really should take the time to cut out between the railings, otherwise it's always just going to look pasted on

Sorry but this is a pretty poor chop, try using good (high res) pictures and taking some time to accurately cut them out next time. Keep trying!

The foot is pretty well done but the background is warped quite a bit

Judging by the look on his face, the dog might have bad breath

This is a wonderful drawing. Really well done!

That is one unattractive little creature!

nice capture, now that is a slow animal!

I love the cartoony feel of it. Well done!

my only nitpick would be that the highlights would be more to the middle of the sofa, but that is minor - I really like the textures. GL

i see where youre going with this but the eyes dont look like the kid is smiling, if you could cut another image in there it would help. Also you need to change the colours on the scarf, have a play with blending modes til you get one that looks right.

that reflection looks good now, candycane in the mug doesnt quite look realistic though, maybe if you fade it away at the bottom a bit??

nice chop, very unique use of the source

very simple clean chop. Very nice

You are right Driven, they used to put sugar in, I guess when your teeth rot you think you need to buy more toothpaste to fix the problem Nice chop too, nice smudging

Nice effect, but just a bit too simple

Sorry but i dont really see the point of the candy cane in this image, it just seems stuck on...

The hair is not bad, if you left the rest of the girl as a statue or coloured her in to look like a real girl that would be much more effective imo

I'm afraid I dont get it either Bob. Other than the title I'm not seeing any similarities. Are you saying he's on acid?

Nice, i'd add some hair to the arm and change the hair colour (or at least give him some dark roots) to make it more realistic though.

i agree with CMYK, id find a different pic for the homeless people, this is clearly the same one as from an earlier entry. I'd just bring the other man into focus and focus the image on him more... nice message!
