CiCi is a normal dog. 'CC' is a superdog. But what nobody knows, is that they are one and the same!

Very good. . . . and my wife's favorite so far. My only 2 technical suggestions would be to try fading the tie just a tad more and make the whites of the newspaper photo look like the the newsprint color (in other words, if you look at a black-and-white pic in a newspaper, the lightest parts aren't any whiter than the bare paper).

I love this. The most amazing and superbly done entry in this contest, in my opinion.

Thanks for the feedback so far. Raygregory, I've made the two changes you've suggested. Looks better now, doesn't it.

Yes, I agree, certainly looks much more real now. The one other thing I would suggest (tho I realize it's too late now to change it), would be to add some brightness/contrast to the whole thing. I think that would liven it up some. Here's a tip: Often when I do something, it looks great on my screen. But then when I load it up to FN after it's "optimized," it looks kinda lame. I've found that by adding an adjustment mask on top of all the layers and then over-revving either the saturation or the brightness/contrast (this takes some experimentation), the uploaded image can be much improved.

Lotsa work went into this one. Great job.

Hybrid

cool idea, but a little blurry. it needs lit'le more of contrast and sharpness -for me.

. First place with a 7.7. Thanks everyone. I noticed in the voting history that I voted relatively low for the entries in this contest. This was not my intention. This is only the second contest I'm participating in and I haven't had much experience with voting so far. I wouldn't have given my own image any more than a 6 I think. So, my apologies for my low voting. It was not my intention to be unfair. edit: I now see that the first contest I participated in, was an ADVANCED Photoshop contest, and this one an APPRENTICE contest. So I guess I was comparing these images to the ones in the advanced contest.
