I can appreciate this! Cool shot - would be interested to know how you accomplished it (I assume that the smokes are much closer to the lens). I like your sense of humor.
Taken like a true ex-smoker! Great concept. Very funny. Ther is just a little haloing along some primary edges and jaggies most visible where it says "Smoking".
Returning for comment: Very funny. I am pretty sure I know how you did this (cigarette pack in front of monitor or printed picture), but we'll see. It's perfect for dream. I like how you concealed the brand name here and the use of dramatic lighting. Bumping up!
I can't tell if the dark shadow that Alan's hiding in is supposed to be that of the cigarettes, or just a door. The lighting/shadows are a bit harsher than I'd like, but that's typically one of the more difficult aspects of making forced perspective look real.
Great concept! Looks like you had fun creating it. There is fringing or oversharpening that gives this the illusion of being cut and paste, unfortunately.
wow - that's eye catching - shadow works nicely, simple, muted colors a + - wish the bacground room (through the portal) was burned to make it darker - overall creative and different
Pretty funny but a little cheesy. The lighting does the image some injustice as it takes away from the dreamy feel. The shadow is good but the room in that back shouldn't be in view. I'd might suggest next time, try a white or black background. Cheers.
:) I like the idea and you have done a lot here the makes me like this image a lot. I am not going to talk technical as to me this is much better than a clean crisp image of a flower.
hahaha too funny!! the only complaint i have is the box of cigarettes is so fake looking...why not use marlboro or create a more real looking box?? (7 for creativity!)
