Simple, elegant, very well done, I do not see anybody topping this, and I have not seen any of the others yet.

I would love to see the improved version posted in the forums... I think that it is astonishing that such a good chop still has room for improvement. Excellent work, you have comprehensively beaten one of my best.

I thought this would win, there were very few flaws and that was made up for by the awesomeness of the image.

I would have given a glow on the "shuttle to chads" building from the bonfire. The smoke does not quite look accurate too. But they are minor flaws on an awesome image.

you should have boosted the magenta on Fiddy's body a bit so the color would match.

you forgot the tattoos...

Rule one with Amy.... tattoos....

Has he put on a little weight?

Do you know of any actual photos of Mozart?

health and safety issues, long hair and lathes do not mix.

One thing you could have added is a glowing effect on the things that would have been illuminated by the fires.

... And now of course, I will take that image and defile it somehow:D well done.

needs more cowbell...

can this be done with elements 6?[/quote]yes all you need to do is turn your rulers on, and use shift to constrain the proportions... Try it, see if it works.

I dont think this would be entirely unsuccessful.

instead of Thi, you could have made it more vernacular - Th' Tin Pig or T' Tin Pig... would have fit with the shortened words elsewhere.

when resizing press shift, and that makes sure the proportions are still the same.

Try adjusting the color of the layer you are adding. She is just not yellow enough.

The light color does not quite match. Try next time going to image> color balance and adjusting the colors on the layer you are adding.

You have to watch the cliche list next time...

for two extra points... darkening around the crotch area to make it look like he wet himself.

would have been far better if you made it ABSOLUTELY clear that it was two rollercoasters on a collision course.

inspired by the Speilberg ouvre perchance?

I have seen the same concept(logs falling off a truck) in a previous competition...

I dont know who got second and third, but they sure do have some great competition;)

OK, hint for getting a perfect circle around the ball. First you turn your rulers on, and drag one guide to the top of the ball, and the other guide to the left side of the ball.Then you select the elliptical marquee and hold down shift, and click from where the two guides meet, until the marquee has selected the whole circle, and then copy and paste.
