Wow, serious potential for this theme.

 

[alexwrc]

[Muzaffar]

Hmmm..... maybe I have an idea but it will probably backfire when everyone else has entered.....

 

[jgda9rs]

[Swiss Legend]

Nice photo Swiss! 👍

Alex - very very nice. 👍👍

 

[suzq044]

Wow, at this rate, it'll be a tie between alex & swiss. I might give this a go if i have time tomorrow. I still have photos to take.

 

[Muzaffar]

Aww, water!

🤬! Oh come on already, give yourself a break from PS and enter something "decent" already. Wow, how do you do that water droplet in PS? Don't know about you but I think you just did a little too much water droplet on the photo. Yeah yeah, I'll try to do something when I have time, school is about to start tomorrow.....

 

[AOS-]

Aww, water!

Entering this then as a final entry



​

not bad on simulating the water.. but imo is a tad bit overdone esp. the larger water droplets. Perhaps if they were smaller....

but shouldn't the "tree" in the droplets be on the bottom of the droplets rather than the top?

 

[alexwrc]

You're right Tico Pro. That photo is over 1 or 2 yeras old, so we can't expect very good things No really, the droplets are from a real photo, I'm guessing free rules alow this. If not let me know it.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you do guys.

  I don’t know if I can consider that has an entry. Do you have the original(s) photo(s)?

 

[alexwrc]

W... Wh... What the heck is that?

Early Photomode Style​

👍

 

[Swiss Legend]

how the heck did you come up with that atlop? Pretty cool though.

 

[ceiling_fan]

Wow, +1 for ingenuity. I'm sure he took the edges from a photomode shot in the top right, btw.

 

[Thiele]

I don't have Photoshop, but i still had a go:

FINAL ENTRY:

 

[AOS-]

Yeah i was already aware it was from a photo, alex, i just know it

atlop, What the Heck is that it's soooo out-of-the-box that they might not even accept it. Car and Egypt, pshhh who ever heard of such a thing

 

[suzq044]

gotta love "emboss" .. lol - nice one atlop.

Yeah i was already aware it was from a photo, alex, i just know it

^ fixed

 

[Muzaffar]

Atlop!!!!! That is one of the most original entries that I've seen yet! Talk about originality, you just took the game a step further. 👍 LdS, I do think this deserved to be in the comp, its just amazing! I'm sure that the 350Z in the top right of the photo is still from GT4.

 

[atlop]

Thanks for the comments. Yeah I have the original photo, I'll PM it to LdS but of course it proves very little since that could be basically from any 350 profile shot.

 

[suzq044]

.. my only problem is, that's not exactly advanced photoshop.. its original, yes, but its not really suiting the theme..
