The Glass Elephant, created by traceydewell

final rank: 3 out of 49 (final score: 63.8 %)
for contest: crystal glasses

Just a matter of using an elephant clipart pic and magic wand selecting and
warping the glasses into the areas.
Little bit of drop shadows and inner glows just to give it a boost.

Ozone Observation Deck, created by traceydewell

final rank: 3 out of 42 (final score: 62.3 %)
for contest: walking path

I have created this image using 5 layers of the path. I've created the sphere
myself in photoshop and placed a picture of earth that I purchased from
Dreamstime.com (within copyright).
A SBS will take some time to do, so unless you are interested in seeing how I
have created this I will not post one. My time is limited unfortunately.
Hope you like this anyway!

Cleopatra, created by traceydewell

final rank: 5 out of 20 (final score: 59.2 %)
for contest: ancient egyptians

I have embedded my face onto an illustration found at dreamstime.com.
Contoured out the female in the pic and then placed her into another scene.
Lots of color balance and blurring was used to create the effect shown in this
entry. I also added some lighting effects to help combine the blending. Hope you
like my work!

sunset strip, created by traceydewell

final rank: 9 out of 25 (final score: 52.3 %)
for contest: can am spyder

This picture was made mainly using the brightness contrast and colour balance.
To do the rays from the sun I duplicated the sunset pic, changed the levels so
the mid tones were all the way to the right and then added a radial blur using :
Amount 100 zoom and set on best. Then I adjusted the opacity of the layer.
Colour balanced the highlights on the motor bike layer to give an effect of the
sunset reflecting on the metal. Hope this gives you a few ideas.
