little magician, created by k_vohsen

final rank: 2 out of 39 (final score: 61.4 %)
for contest: electrical sparks

I looked at this image and saw the element of lightening. My first instinct was
to make a form emerge from it seeing shapes and figure within the abstraction...
But then I gravitated toward elemental figures and finally toward power. So I
thought a magic spell :)

*note the little bird on her arm is a custom shape with slight shading and
colors added- i forgot to mention this on the last step by step.

**Here is source2 again to make sure that it works so I don't get disqualified

Toy Train, created by k_vohsen

final rank: 4 out of 21 (final score: 57.9 %)
for contest: parking facility

By looking at the basic shape of the cylinder pole on the source image I thought
of deconstructing it and what I could make... so a train came to mind- then the
color reinforced it to be a toy, so I did not manipulate the color from the
original.. (except hue and contrast when applicable)

>>Almost all the parts of the train are from source image- This was the
original project- and the rest was inspired from it...
the poles are from source,pole stands, the bike sign, and the lego blocks are
from the source image...

Reality 350 KM, created by k_vohsen

final rank: 6 out of 17 (final score: 56 %)
for contest: bicycle tire

"Everything you can imagine is real."

The source image inspired this whole composition, cutting it up and playing
with parts of the tire. It was very beautiful, very abstract, so I made such a
composition around this... I wanted to try a different type of entry- It is
successful for what I wanted to say and accomplish. (h)

thanks for your votes and comments-
