beautiful

This is an azalea, right? Whatever it is, it is most beautiful...

A bit OOF

A lovely light, and color, but it's a little out of focus.

Lovely color & composition, but it's out of focus just the tiniest bit.

Great capture of a capture! It'd be great to see the hi res!

Lovely colors and lighting!

Nice, but a high res would be good so we could get a nice look at it

Nice, but just a bit OOF

Great capture. need to have patience for a good macro. GL dear author

Yes, I agree... the food seems kind of secondary

According to the guidelines, "show us some awesome pictures of fast food. It can be burgers, fries, nuggets, chicken sandwiches, chili from Wendy's or anything you like that comes from a fast food place. " is this about the fast food or more about the child who appears to be the subject? Although a decent 'snap'...it's more of a portrait IMHO

She looks like she doesn't want to be there, for sure.

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.

I like the fix. Good one.

now if you want to get more work on it you can always improve it by working on the fur. heres a tutorial I wrote that can help you with the fur work, http://www.pxleyes.com/tutorial/photoshop/1253/How-To-Make-Puss-in-Boots.html im sure there are plenty other tuts arround about his subject though. anyhow good job so far

Great fix...GL author!

it looks very good now great work

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.

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!

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.

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

gr8 shot......

The old goose the person next to you to get the photoshoot rollong. High noon lighting under the shade tree is a good choice, but a little fill light would probably have helped. Good shot.

definitely on theme, but I feel it would be a better photograph if you cropped it a lot closer and lightened it a little.

Very beautiful author! Best of luck!

Makes me think about the movie Deliverance, nice image. Good luck!

Love the capture of the water! Greatly done!

amazing shot author good luck

a beautiful, but mystic?

the water is wonderful

Nice capture of the water, without losing the definition!

This is wonderful! Would love to be there

What a wonderful setting!

Lovely clear photo, just wish the flash had been a little softer.

A beautiful photograph, but I would crop it below the yellow branch t the top. I'm not sure all this rushing water says relaxing to me.

Why is the image on it's side?

The angle doesn't do much for the photo IMO

I love the autumn colours.

Beautiful, very peaceful.

Mold in the bottom of a glass/cup?

Is it a bowl with kiwi inside?

Looks like fish, or frog's eggs

really........!! I can see, maybe, a turtle shell, but where is the face... maybe his head is inside the shell......

Didn't see this entry when I posted mine. Hope you're not offended or think I tried to steal your idea. I like yours

we have those around here. We call them armyworms too. I hate them. They can denude a hillside in no time flat. They couldn't hurt you though. They're just caterpillars

IMO, it would have made for a much more interesting photo if you took it from a different angle, rather than just strait down. The photo just lacks depth at this angle but once again.. just IMO....

Aren't these also known as Gypsy-moth caterpillars? Because of the nasty nests they spin and they just seem to post up camp anywhere? These things will ravish a tree in no time.

Good entry! GL!

I'm glad you didn't get any closer. what is it?

Lovely colors!
