I cloned. Did it effect my score? I do not know for sure. Judging by some comments I think it might have. I am curious as to how many people thought that the hand was held up in front of a monitor. This was not the case. It was all done in camera. I used a lazer pen to make the red marks and the stars are from the low apperature. I then lit up the hand with a flash light. This is also the reason that the hand doesn't quite line up with the red, the hand moved some between the red and white light.

I cloned out the star on the fingers because I was trying to put more into the hand because it is were the five came into the shot. I guess becasue I knew how I did the shot, I didn't think that it looked like a background that was behind the hand. But oh well, lesson learned.

I did try to duplicate the shot I entered but with leaving the star beams in. You can see that the top parts of those fingers are quite a bit different than the one I entered. I guess that was another reason I cloned the beams out, it was easier to make the fingers look more like the rest of the hand. Here they are. What do you think? Would it have been better with the star marks left in?

This is the one I entered

This is the redone one

And this is one I did before I thought of the lazer pen

Would have been better without the cloning IMO. The cloned (entered) version does look more like it's in front of a background of some sort. Cool idea!

Yea too bad I didn't get some advice on the decession from some non-challenge folks first. Well at least I learned something from the experience.
