Love this! Very creative use of PS techniques. Only thing is that the horizon seems to be a little tilted?

Where the Purple People Eaters Live

I wondered if we'd see any bold selective desaturation and hue shifts like this. Personally I like it a lot. Has a very dreamy, graphic feel to it and the composition is very good. I know this effect takes more work than it looks like at first sight. For some it may not be "out of this world" enough, but I love it. Well done. 8

Original and creative. Wish the crop was not as tight on ankle and head. Black and white works well for this image. Flowing netting adds a great counterpoint to the nude.

Sorry to be negative (and you will doubtless be sick of hearing this by the end of the challenge) but it just looks like and shot with bad camera shake.

Wonder how you did this? Would love to know after the challenge. This is a dark shot that would appeal to many as a poster, I think. Very well done. Shows that one needs one's monitor calibrated correctly as this looks very dark on some and great on a Mac! Good luck. 8

Yes! I like this a lot. Super macro and an excellent comp. The back lighting has enhanced the silhouette and the contrast is first class. A great take on the challenge that deserved to be looked at for a long time. Trouble is, a lot of people flick through so fast that it may be missed by some voters. I hope not as it deserved to be in the top ten at least (together with mine of course ;)

Looking in on a small world

Very cute take on this challenge, Technically it is rather weak but it has a lot of potential. Hard to light the eye and the doll house evenly. Perhaps a long exposure on a tripod rather than the flash?

Wow....she is definitely "out of this world!". Most won't care for the PS treatment but it is entirely appropriate for this challenge, I feel. 7
