Octogirl pictures - / , brilliant. Look at the face expression, . / Just wonder who was the victim Any celebrity. / Just looked who this is again and apparently it's Autumn Reeser, an actress. (Haven't heard of her before.)
Dennis Kucinich as Girl pictures - Dennis Kucinich / This definately looks better in full view. But the female part of the imageis stiil a little pixelated. Good job with the matching tho. / Nice to see someone try this with Kucinich.
Girl with Easter Egg Basket pictures - / I'm afraid this is a rip-off of this one from last year's contest: http://www.freakingnews.com/Easter-Pics-34563.asp / Similar idea does not mean a ripoff. This entry has its own originality and is done differently enough.
COWGIRL pictures - / The texture of the hat, boot, wall hanging & guitar do not match the painting style. The shadows are also off.
Obama Black Girl pictures - Obama / The skintones match well, but the breast area looks painted in. The Souce is a nice large size, but it's a bit pixelated.
Rihanna Boeing Worker Girl pictures - / I can bring home the bacon. Fry it up in a pan. And never let you forget you're a man. / She's not afraid to get her hands dirty Good work, but face needs a slight more work on the colors
Energizer GirLFriEnD pictures - Comment my chop, please.. / Love the concept, but I wish the source image was bigger and of better quality. / Nice chop but try to use bigger size images. Formally speaking we should disqualify all images under 120,000 square pixels, as per out FAQ.
Girl & Marilyn pictures - / Rotate Marilyn horizontally, adjust the shadows and increase the contrast on M.M. and we have a winner. / Looks better now but that's not all I wanted... Shadowing is much more complicate than add a shadow as an effect. The light comes from the right, it's sunlight, noon perhaps (look at the shadow of the themepost on the right). The opposite - your shadow. It looks like a one resulting of a flashlight, coming from a different angle and direction. Light is elementary in every photo manipulation - it decides whether the work looks photorealistic or not. I would use parts of the themepost to create a shadow - instead of an effect. You also could parts of the guard's clothes to make Marilyn's dress look like tanning in the sun Go on for it. I like the idea - good luck. / I agree with TT -- a study of the guard's shadow could have helped with this. If you check the difference, you can see why TT wanted more. Really good idea. / The day California allowed gay marriages Nice concept.
Girl With a Pearl Earring and Flashlight pictures - / I've been sitting here for about three or so minutes wondering whether or not the light on her chin is a little too strong or not. I can't decide. I like the dust motes. I like the flashlight in this time period. I like the picture. / Yes, some textture work on the hand would be nice. otherwise quality work here
