This is a very interesting concept and the effect has been carried out well, but there are two improvements I think could be made to make it more believeable. First, the white edge of the foam board the picture is pasted on is showing and gives away the effect easily. Secondly, I would have cropped the picture at the base of the finger so that you couldn't see that it's a picture.
Not sure how this was done, but assume not just a photoshop trick, and hope you do explain as it is very effective indeed. One of my favourites of the challenge.
If this one doesn't get a ribbon, I'll eat my hat !! This has to be the most original photo in this competition - almost perfectly executed, apart from the small misalignments on the side of the head and the lips. Apart from that, this gets a 10 from me on the WOW factor alone !!
a very interesting photo....I like the idea and well as the final result. The lighting is very good....the alignment of the photo against your face is great! Very creative work! I am giving this a high score!!
ooo I like this - quite unique and creative. there's something funky about the left side of the smaller shot... i'm not quite sure if it's that it goes all the way to the edge -- don't think you need the ? imho. as presented, an interestingly different effort
Oh wow! I LOVE this picture. Of course it's technically excellent, but I'm so much more impressed with the story it's telling. I'm drawn in. I want to know more. I can't stand how GOOD this is! Way to go. Way to go!!! Pictures like these is why I want to get behind a camera. This is inspiring.
My first thought that this was very good and then I thought I wish the finger of the of the bacground model might have been place over the finger in the picture....and then I saw the little bit of text on the picture which may DQ it although I will not recommend myself cause I really like this otherwise.....I'll let the anals do it....don't won't to ruin their fun.
