Unable to enter this into fantasy because my cameras date was set a day ahead (for some weird reason). Lets see how it does in the free study! lol
WOW! Thanks everyone for the great comments and score! This is actually a self-portrait taken in a forest, the black background of the “portal” is a cloth…. I never expected this to do so well in the Free Study! Thanks again! :)

I hope you don't mind a second comment - I try and keep up with developments in digital cameras, but you do much more with your 'old' 300D than I do with my newer 400D. Despite developments and so-called progress, I see some wonderful images taken with what is often thought of as a creaky old camera.
Just goes to show a good workman can use what some think of as an inferior tool, what a good sculptor can do with an 'ordinary' chisel - Move over, Michelangelo!
Many of us are driving our Racing cars to just post a letter - (I live 120 feet from a post office), and tend to make sow's ears out of silk purses, and make something leaden out of Gold
I may have to try buying one on ebay ........ Hmm!
Very nice shot!
Sorry about the date thing - I like the idea of the black velvet - wouldn't this be so interesting too if you could superimpose a shot of you coming out of the frame, with the frame being hung halfway up a tree, and the supporting cord showing the frame hanging from a tree - or even in a vineyard, with you picking the grapes and eating them?
Or even, pouring liquid out of a frame suspended over a pond, a bath, or some such shot! (maybe turning the tap off or something complicated like shaving yourself from out of the mirror)- these are things I wish I'd done, but no digital possibility when I was young enough
Anyway, great picture!
It is good that you are young enough to be model in many shots - I wish I had done more of that when I could - I watch future pix with interest - best of success for future pix!
Hi - I'm interested in your camera's date setting. I had a similar problem which led to a DQ, and Iknow some others had this (all Canon owners). My date skipped forward too.
You took a concept and pushed it farther, excellent work! near perfect, Noone has pointed out a single flaw, thats an accomplishment in itself. Congratulations.
Very impressive :)
I almost thought it was copy and paste, very well done!
Yeah, it it has been in Fantasy challenge, it would probably do very well to. Very very creative! congrats on the ribbon.
Justin congrats on this image. For a big field in this challenge, once again you have proven to have a great eye in composition and originality. Great job!
congrats, i really loved this photo, guess I am not the only one! CONGRATS!
Tell how you hid yourself in the background of the portal. This is just very creative and I love that it is outside.
Fantastic picture. Love the idea and the execution is terrific. Great neutral hues and blur to the background, really brings out the subject well. Excellent imagination and creativity.
looks like caleb.
the illusion here is brilliantly done, and the colors are gorgeous. great expression and positioning of the body. this reminds me of some of peter jackson's cinematography in 'the fellowship of the ring.'
Awesome, awesome, awesome. The gold tones are a great contrast to the darks in the frame, a great idea, well executed...a shoe in for top 3, if not #1...good job/good luck
