JJMacks,

Interesting, and nice work with the shadow, IMO. I have a question, if you don't mind. How did you produce the shadow? My assumption is that you made a mask from the woman, a combination of flipping and rotating to match the angle of the sun, then use an adjustment layer to lower the exposure.

Thanks.

Yes I copied my mask to the clipboard and pasted it in as a layer flipped it lowered its opacity transformed it a bit. erased the legs positioned it and paint in leg shadow.

My virus scan kicked it out. Wonder if something was embedded in the
picture.

I just made a AVG virus check on my PC including the image and found no problem.

I also downloaded the images and its the same byte-numbers as I uploaded.

But the hosting site lycos has very heavy advertising, and I have no influence at all
on the popup windows and ads there.

I upload an extremely simple html file and the img and lycos does the advertises around it.

If you have concrete infomation whats and where is the problem, and the problem is serious, then I will kick LYCOS out of my useage, but what you wrote is not enough info for this.

But I still assume Lycos may have heavy advertising but is not a company which does wrong things.

A lot of hosting sites do this. I try to use sites like ImageShack that give you a direct link, but sometimes you have to work around things. Enjoyed the play and hopefully I'm protected enough. :)

Nice concept. A couple of questions if you don't mind. How did you create the reflection? Did you use some program, plugin or action?
Thanks> >

Thanks.

I extracted her from the BG to a separate layer, some skin touch-up, used Flaming Pear's Flood filter on a duplicate layer for the reflected water effect, colored a new BG layer, used a radial gradient for the lighted area behind her, placed her back over-top and masked out her legs, cloud brush to blend the BG and water effect and Paint with Light to give her the shadowing.

That looks doable for me - at my next photoshoot I will also try this.

I herewith foist the dpreview users the third and last original image, contents is replaced in the original link.

The tape was just drawn out on a layer as it looks, then the blending method was adjusted until I got what I liked. I then tweaked the ends and the creases to make it look more real.

For the main part, I just randomly "cut" out the image and placed it over the background. I added an image of blank paper underneath the cutout, trimmed to the same shape. Then I randomly cut away sections of the overlying image to simulate areas where the photo surface was torn away leaving the backing paper.

Folds and creases were just random selections treated to either lightening or darkening the contrast.
 
Hi,

yes it was quick and dirty but I admit that I missed the third shadow in front of her in hurry. The second suppose to be fill light shadow but seems it is not working. :-)

thanks

Butch,

Innovative. OK, so how did you turned the smile to a grimace? I
assume using the liquid facility in PS?

She would like to be in an outdoor scene.

If you want you can do it - if you dont, then I try it with probably
less success.

You can make her sepia or so IF you want, but not an art painting.

I might remove the IMG in 1-3 days, when a good retouch is here. Then
please no more new retouchings - to make not a too big thread out of
it.

thanks
Martin

P.S. Yes she is 20, even if she looks young.
