This was my original idea. However I came up with a better one and could not get it to come out right...so I reverted back to my first idea. The photo is of a 10 of diamonds in the middle of a 10 made out of froot loops (added for color effect) The mirror gave the card and the froot loops an illusion of being stacked. I cropped it, changed horizontal perspective, adjusted color balance, brightness and contrast along with enhancing shadows, added spiky halo and cloned out a couple of the froot loops along with minor dust on the mirror. This is only my fourth challenge and I have read and reread the rules I think editing is within the rules as to the way I am reading it.
Disqualification Details
Cloning, dodging, burning, etc. to improve your photo or remove imperfections or minor distracting elements, etc. is acceptable. However, using any editing tools to duplicate, create, or move major elements of your photograph is not permitted.
While this is a unique take, I find for me the noise to be to distracting, giving me nothing to focus on. Perhaps if the cards had a bolder color in place of the brown.
