Christmas Eve, created by mom22seans

Christmas Eve
final rank: 5 out of 49 (final score: 60.3 %)
for contest: open door

Please see the sbs & especially the original source of the Santa... there is
alot more to this than a "copy and paste"! This actually took me
about 2 days off and on so I hope you all like it! :)
I created the carpet texture in Photoshop. The rest of the items I'll list
the sources for except the photo on the wall - that is of my own son taken last
Christmas.

Dark Reservoir, created by mom22seans

Dark Reservoir
final rank: 18 out of 63 (final score: 58.3 %)
for contest: reservoir ball

Probably my most intricate work yet... only been at this for about 2 months so
be nice! LOL I wasn't quite sure where I was going with this - just knew I
wanted a dark, mysterious/mystical lady standing up there... and also wanted to
incorporate that huge ball somehow... this is what I came up with. The girl in
the picture is from my own file - added hair (thanks to Obsidian Dawn for the
brushes!) and a skirt (using colors from the big ball). The other source files
I'll link below. Comments & suggestions please! :)

**edit: Source images 3 & 4 were moved to the Step By Step section in
order to perserve the anonymous nature of the contest**

Anyone else want a piece?, created by mom22seans

Anyone else want a piece?
final rank: 3 out of 25 (final score: 57.7 %)
for contest: birthday

Combined images to make it look like a slice is missing, did lots of cloning and
copying/pasting to remove the candles, wax and reflection of the candles (that
took the longest!) and used a strawberry source to sharpen the strawberries in
the front so they wouldn't be so blurry. Hope you all enjoy this one :)

Butterfly Field, created by mom22seans

Butterfly Field
final rank: 7 out of 39 (final score: 56.2 %)
for contest: playing golf

Added my own extracted photo after removing the golf elements... I still have a
lot to learn about matching lighting but this is what I've come up with so far
:)

**edit: decided to change the color of his clothing to suit the image better**

**oops - added shadow to his left arm now too - I'll stop examining it now and
let it be LOL**

Celebrate!, created by mom22seans

Celebrate!
final rank: 6 out of 23 (final score: 55.7 %)
for contest: champagne

Took out the background, added a new background, added a top to the bottle,
added a bow from from another picture and edited it to show behind the glass and
give it a better cut at the end, added more of the garland, and added text
giving it a gold bar effect. This is my first work done specifically for a
contest. Hope you like it!
