						|   | Alex Bloody ages to do this vote...

						|   | irishstu Excellent pic, chadchud. Take it as a BIG compliment that people thought you cheated. Now lie back and bathe in the glory. :)
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | bluefist I wasn't gonna vote for this...not because I thought that there was 'cheating' involved...but a lot of it looked pre-fabricated (like a stock source photo or something). Take that how you will. HOWEVER, the reason I AM voting for this is because a lot of people here get votes by posting schlocky, hacked regurgitations of stuff they read in tutorials...and pass it off as talent. That practice here at this site, I find deplorable. What YOU did is explained exactly how you went about doing it, using trail & error & common sense. The use of grids ALONE garners the vote. Most so-called graphic designers don't utilize that concept. Solid work here & good approach. Hopefully you can carry this though to your future work and put this kind of effort into one good post instead of 2 goofy ones each day. It's your membership, do what you want...but there's a lot of positives that come out of this post for your development with this stuff in the future. I'd use this as an opportunity to try to continue to become better & better. Congratulations.

						|   | billtvshow Damn son, this is a classic.  Like bf said, you ought to be putting out this effort every time.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | POP3Y3 that is qiute a compliment that people think you actually printed those and took a picture of it. well done.

						|   | HandToolUK I totally agree with bluefist. In all honest, at first I just thought this was another somewhat cliched "put the source into a photograph" image - but having seen the tutorial, the effort put into this and the detailed and clear tutorial to explain it deserve all the accolades.

						|   | YerPalAl Whatever the outcomeof the discussion, the effect is good and deserves a vote. I would be churlish if I did not give it on.

						|   | chadchud ok  folks  -  i  promise  this  is  the  last  time  i  change  my  mind  about  my  entry!  (hence  the  different  thumbnail)
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | chadchud rollercoaster?  exactly!  It  was  supposed  to  be  the  london  eye  thingy  -  guess  that's  why  i  changed  it!
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | chadchud woohoo!  the  thumbnail  changed!
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | 55sn Good  work  although  I  would  like  to  see  your  source  image.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | PSposer Oooh  is  55sn  saying  that  this  was  not  chopped?  Does  he  or  she  think  that  because  chad  is  a  photographer  that  chad  printed  the  source  and  then  took  a  pic  of  it?  Will  anyone  care?  Will  the  votes  have  to  be  recounted?  Will  they  accept  hanging  and  pregnant  ch

						|  | 
				
					
						|   | ho0ly I'd  like  to  see  a  src  too,  but  only  cos  I  have  no  idea  how  he  did  this  if  it  wasn't  printed  or  whatever  PSposer  said.  Very  interesting,  and  great  job  :)
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | bollandfan32 yeah...maybe  this  is  a  cheat..show  your  source  image  and  I'll  give  you  a  vote..otherwise  I  am  suspect.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | ho0ly Just  out  of  curiosity,  is  there  a  rule  against  printing  the  src  and  using  it  in  a  photograph  like  that?  I'd  think  it  should  be  strictly  photo  manipulation,  but  I  could  be  wrong.  Chud,  please  answer  before  people  start  throwing  stones...
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Bluesbro It  can  certainly  be  done.  It  would  take  a  good  perspective  change  and  an  overlay  blended  mask  I'd  think.  The  overlay  blend  mode  would  allow  it  to  look  like  it  bends  along  the  bottom  naturally.  But  what  do  I  know  ...  lol

						|   | madraven Best  forgery  vote.

						|  | 
				
					
						|   | chadchud can't  believe  you  think  i've  forged  this!  how  exactly?  yes,  i  do  dabble  in  photography,  but  to  no  professional  standard!  Besides,  I  sold  my  digital  camera  on  Ebay  last  week  to  buy  a  new  one!  Surely  if  i  had  done  this  via  photography,  there  would  be  some  s

						|  | 
				
					
						|   | chadchud it's  not  very  fair  to  question  my  ability  -  but  if  proof  is  necessary,  then  the  background  i  made  is  at:  [img] chadchud.com...     and  the  peg  picture  i  used  is  at  [img] chadchud.com...     hope  this  answers  all  the  'doubt'  out  there  -  still  not  very  fair

						|   | ho0ly It  is  perfectly  fair,  and  within  our  rights  to  question  how  someone  does  something,  especially  if  we  are  suspicious.  As  you  can  see,  I  voted  for  you,  but  I  would  still  like  to  know  how  you  did  this,  because  it  looks  difficult.  If  you  didn't  photograph  it,

						|   | qqqqq yep  and  it  looks  like  the  backround  is  the  zoomed  in  version  of  the  paper
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | ho0ly chad,  is  there  any  way  you  can  post  a  tutorial  or  something  to  explain  how  exactly  you  did  this?  If  so,  people  can  shut  up  about  cheating,  and  if  not,  then  we'll  know  you  did  cheat.  Thanx.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | madraven Methinks  thou  doth  protesteth  too  much.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | ho0ly Me?  I  voted.  That  right  there  indicates  that  I'm  only  trying  to  help  him  by  asking  for  a  tutorial  of  some  sort  so  he  can  prove  himself.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | AcadieMedia The  pegs  on  the  source  are  perfectly  flat,  the  ones  in  the  submited  pic  are  posed  on  an  angle...      nice  picture  but...  !!

						|   | chadchud for  more  info,  and  a  step-by-step,  take  a  look  at  the  forum,  under  'Contests  &  Entries'  and  all  is  revealed  there!
