Approved poster for "Food, inc." not mine Thank you for the "cheeky" comments.
Barcode and stamp came from a hot dog package, used transform in PS to shape them as closely as i could imagine that they would look if there where inked on for real. also applied some noise and blur to make them look less "perfect"
I wanted the skin to retain some of it's natural look and used little skin smoothing / noise removal. I wish the center cow would have had a little it more detail. The idea came after I saw the movie in my "netflix" selection.

One of my faves (even though I accidentally saw it during it's brief stay in your portfolio). ;-)
Are "both" photos (the cow country and the girl) yours? Did you shape the ink in photoshop, or did you actually stamp her skin (I'm guessing the former). However you did it, wonderful technicals.
I was going to give this a particular score, but as I stared at it, I forgot what that score was. I'll stare some more and maybe come back to it a few times before I decide. Can't be too hasty on some of these entries.
The thumbnail is impressive. I'd like to see a smoother skin look, and I'm not liking the clouds in the crotch or cow between the legs. An interesting concept and with a bit more attention to details, it could be fantastic.
