Jack Rosetta pictures - Any unusual breeding. Me thinks so. / Great execution specially on the arms and tail wich is a great touch. Just the skin part between shirt and pants have to be white too. Well done. / This is just wonderful. Great idea, excecution... it's got everything. All you have to do is make the waist white, as Skorpion said. Other than that, this is just perfect / The edit makes it look much better. Now it's not just nearly perfect...It IS perfect / I hate to be a cliche, but I bet she likes "doggy style" Fantastic entry. / Awesome entry. A top placer in my opinion. / The arms on this creature are spectacular / lovely but the breast distruct me. ( on m own Opinion.)
Flag Rose pictures - Stars and Stripes.. / Nice work. Maybe you should lower the opacity (or try a different Blend Mode) of the flag to get more texture of the flower. / I AGREE WITH V1nc3nt.But still nice idea. / You think like I do. But when I lowered the opacity on the stripes, it seemed too much like an overlayed object. I used the pen tool to draw out the stripes by hand, and then Hue/Sat tool to remove the Red and then upped the Contrast to add white color and still keep "some" part of the rose's surface texture. If you look toward the center you can see a little of the texture, but as you go out, the camera blur on the source image made realism a bit harder to acheive. Thanks for the critiqe, by the way. I want to push myself this summer. / I usually use Replace color for that sh1t. Look at the shoes I used for my entry. I changed from red to White in several steps, picking just a small range of the reds at the time. I like the Replace Color because it really preserves the textures.
Smoky Rose pictures - Perhaps it is the hallucinogenic qualities of whatever the match is supposed to be lighting that provide this effect. Full view is no larger, but much clearer.
cornet rose pictures - / Maybe you can try to rotate the rose till the larger leaves are at the top. That way the angle would look better, imo. / This rose is paid $5 an hour to deflect the sound
Roseanne or Oprah pictures - Oprah and Roseanne get ready to meet the press, before the Presidential Election. Oprah is none too pleased about Roseanne's rosettes.... / Makes 2 of us Kitty she is my role model for being a parent hahaha / Ah. Now we'll really have some pork barrel spending.
Rose pictures - Roses are red, violets are blue, pull the brass ring, an explosion for you. / Under the circumstances, somehow the thorns just don't seem that bad. / . Great work. Creative and well implemented / Wish I could give one of these to a gal I know... / With a rose like that, who needs the thorns.
guns n roses pictures - dont play, dont cry... / Janie's got a gun. Give peace a chance. If that doesn't work, shoot 'em in the leg.
Yellow Rose Sun pictures - Texas National Guard checks out the Yellow Sun of Texas Shining down on the World / good good, I liek how the clouds overlap the flower
Spanish Rose pictures - Spanish Steps Of Rome a la Salvador Dali. Painting on the steps is called Meditative Rose, with misc Dali paintings on the building. FULL VIEW PLEASE I believe if Dali were alive today, he would be a Freaking Chopper.
