 1 shot as you see it. I had to use another photo for the texture on the skin, shot at the same time/location.. The idea came to me in a nightmare HAHAHA! My first real crack at Expert editing, not a great fan of it though, but as usual, I went over the top a wee bit hahaha.


I'de like the THINK this will do quite well but I also know that there are a lot of other brilliant editors out there so it's a tough one to call.

Est. Score - 6.2
dream Score - 6.8


shot in jpg. opened in photoshop, opened the other pic in photoshop too and cropped out the large chunk of tree i wanted to use as texture. used layers and masks to add the bark to the skin and then adjusted the layer to match colour. flattened the image and dodge/burned things and blurred things to make it all look normal'ish, duplicated layer, ran one through lucisarts and then blended to taste to get the woman looking normal and the background a bit weird..

Sorry but this is way too cartoonish and not resembling a photograph for my taste. I do appreciate the effort though and voted a 4 wich is very high for me for this type of an image.

Interesting, but looks a bit too unrealistic for my taste as a "photograph".

i LOVE LOVE LOVE the creepy guys in the trees but somehow the outfit the girl is wearing doesn't fit at all. If it was darker and maybe green or brown you would look like she fit into the scene better

Expressive, creative, fantasy, yes, but Photographically appealing no.
