So... my car entry was disqualified because I used Text in my image. turns out text has its own contests.

New contest going on, same site. (worth1000.com)

Contest Regulations:

In this contest we're going to prove to the world that Samuel L. Jackson really is everywhere! Basically the idea is that you have free reign to do anything with any image (within site guidelines) so long as Mr. Jackson (any image) appears in the image in some form or another. A free-for-all with limitations. Yeah, that's the ticket! This is NOT a mating contest. You don't need to mate him with another person, simply use him in the image you create, i.e. Samuel L. Jackson as the Pope, Samuel L. Jackson as a singer, Samuel L. Jackson as a fast food worker, etc.

The rules of this game are thus: Use any image of Samuel L. Jackson somewhere in your pic. He can be edited, inserted, manipulated, cloned etc...the sky is the limit so long as any image of him is used somehow. As always, quality is a must. You'll have 48 hours for this contest, so make your submission count.

"And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to submit less than top quality."

This is what I came up with:

What do you guys think?
Don't forget... what this site is looking for "seamless".
They want entries that look real.

Pretty good. I don't like to be critic ( especially when I can barely post a pic using Photobucket)...
BUT, his right foot looks like its floating. Edges to smooth??
Just that his shoes stand out so dark compared to the sandals.

SLRdude · 31 January 2006, 02:53 PM

good catch.

ralphieralph · 31 January 2006, 03:09 PM

Looks great Chip

but what about his clothes??They seem out of place for an old pic or does that even matter??

SLRdude · 31 January 2006, 03:13 PM

How about this one?

The clothes don't matter. The whole point of this is to make him be somewhere where he is not. the Ghandi photo is from 1931. Truth be told, the western male wardrobe hasn't changed much since so his clothes are ok.

SLRdude · 31 January 2006, 03:18 PM

Why can't they have a "create a watch" category??

A while ago I caught my orange PO smooching around with my Speedy pro.

Their baby is pppreeetttyyyy....

JJ Irani · 31 January 2006, 03:34 PM

Great looking watch....until Ed sees it!! LOL!!

BTW, why is Gandhi pointing to his groin?

C.J. · 31 January 2006, 04:12 PM

Looks good Chip

mailman · 31 January 2006, 08:09 PM

I think it looks good Chip but as far as photoshop goes, I have no idea about it or what to look for in a pic.

Great work, but his feet still look unnatural.

Rockrolex · 31 January 2006, 11:44 PM

The feet look much better in the second shot, Chip, but maybe a little more softness would help - not too much, though.

No comment on that fugly orange thing that snuck into this thread.

Hehehe - good one, Chip! Just noting that the lighting angles for Sam and the Mahatma are different - not that there's much you can do about that, of course, but maybe that's why the foot looks out of place.
