Nice. Only critique would be to bump up the saturation on the backgound, or bump down (is it possible to bump down?) the saturation on the bird.

overall great job, but you could have been more careful while extracting the bird. in the high res version the toucan has a bit of a jagged outline

EXCELLENT reflection.

Thanks for all the comments folks. Marcus - that is a very good call, yes it is possible to bump down the saturation so that is what I have done - only a bit though.

author:

FDICfan, that is another good call, but I'm not entirely sure if it is the extraction that is poor or if this is partly to do with the relative sizes of the source photo's, I did have to considerably cut the size of the toucan (to 12 1/2 %)

I think that this is really clever - it took me a few minutes to see the significance of the squares. I'm not entirely sure why you did two, but it is very good.

Great Idea !!!!

author:

Thanks for the comments guys. @Lycra I'm sorry but I don't see the perspective problem. @Dubaibilly the reason I did two was cause I was worried that people might not understand what it was if I only did the scrambled version, plus I think it'd be presented this way in a real ad.

"@Lycra I'm sorry but I don't see the perspective problem." - I'm not Lycra, but perhaps i can say sth about it. I think the "prob" is the shadows and highlights you use, that represent the depths of the borders from your toys. You made the toys from one side, which is ok of course, but then you can see ànd the one backside (left + also up) from the toy ànd the other backside (right + under) pretty well. If you'd lower for example the darker shadows from those borders it might look more realistic. So far my analysis
