You started out with great source pics...somehow James Wood's face became blurry. Is it possible you resized his face up rather than resizing the background down? You matched the skin tone perfectly!

Creative use of his name! His head is a bit big for the body, and I would have liked to have seen a bigger full view, but other than that, a good entry!

You did a good job masking out the hair falling in front of her shirt. Her hat seems to be sitting a bit to high on her head to be secure!

I think you picked a good source picture to work with. May I suggest using the Smudge tool to make hair look more realistic? Pulling out some strands here and there help a lot!

This is such a great entry, I hope it doesn't get looked over because it's low-key. I think it's perfectly blended. Did you consider using her neck so as not to have an Adam's Apple?

I have to admit that I don't know who Billie Piper is! Masking hair is hard, the hair on the right side shows the original background, but other than that, I don't have any complaints! Maybe think about using Smudge to help create hair to hide that background next time?

The size limit is 200K, I usually save mine at 196 to be safe. There is a tut here if you need it.

This was a great idea, I get that the blur is an effect of the photography of the time. I suspect you would have gotten a higher score if the people in the photos had been similarly sized and not looked as flat...the gentleman in the right window looks like a flat photograph instead of a participant. Great idea!

There's a great tutorial here for uploading your pics at a larger size so we can see the View Full-y Goodness! I like the idea, and the sky and trees are really nice.

Great idea, great job. The length of the cabice seem to get super-long since they are further away...but really great job.

Nice job. The perspective of the front of the boat seems a bit off, but really great job.

I like the desaturation of the caboose and background.
