*My first contest*

It's not a lack of skill, but a lack of imagination

I used the magnetic lasso tool to carefully select the chick from its natural environment. Using the eraser tool I erased the edges to give the chick a more naturally fuzzy look. Then I found a picture of some ducks and inserted the chick in those pictures.

Welcome to PST. Really great place, you'll learn alot. They chick really is a bit oversaturated - I know you intended it to pop out, but it's a little too much, imho. Also, you need a reflection/shadow from the chick as it is sitting in open water here.

Yah so far I love it here. Thanks for the information; I really didn't know that there were ways to show reflections in liquids. And the chick being oversaturated; you're not alone on that. I definitely need to tone it down a bit.

I wasn't this good when I started using photoshop. I look forward to your future submissions.

maybe change the levels of the origional level then add the duck but turn the saturation down a bit....

welcome to pst, just listen to the comments above

. Also you made a clean chop with the lasso tool, only I suggest to use the pen tool the next time, It will work a lot nicer.
