Ooops...!

... about your thoughts on this one!

Done just for fun, is a composite of a selfportrait and a see-shell. Many hours spent, a whole fore-concept behind. My first attempt for doing this kind of thing at this level of complexity.

Thanks!

Interesante Néstor! Así me sentía yo después de cada etapa de exámenes finales en la Universidad! A lo mejor te falta un poco de técnica pero para ser la primera, bastante impresionante.

Bueno, gracias Mauricio. Si, es cierto lo de la "quemada de cerebro"... :-) Yo también pasé por eso, incluso pensé en otros títulos que sugerían algo de eso, pero finalmente me decidí por este.

¿Me podrías decir qué mejorarías por le lado de la cuestión técnica? Quizá aún pueda hacer algo al respecto... ¡Gracias!

Pues mira, tal vez la diferencia de brillo en la parte superior sea muy brillante en relación con el resto del rostro. Y en donde puedo encontrar el montaje es de tu lado derecho, el tercer pliegue que de repente se corta dejando un espacio? Yo lo llenaría...Y sabes que se me ocurre también? Distorsionar ligeramente las bolitas hacia arriba. Como dándole a cada bolita una "dimensión"? No sé si me explique. Espero que sí.

 

Freaky!! Cool stuff!

it looks crazy but the work is well done. as it appears as "naturally grown"

I don't care for composites, but this is well done. Witty. I probably would have lit the face a little different, but that's just me.

Simply hilarious!!! and well done!

I think Nestor needs a dermatologist!

 

(Just kidding!) :)

 

I like this photograph. It's a seamless integration of two concepts. GREAT!

This is a scream (Laura took the words right outa my typing finger). Keep them coming, Nestor. We could all use a little more wit and humor on this site.

I thought that was you. Very entertaining! A little more light in your face would be my only suggestion, but really not a big issue. I like the line of your shoulders across the back because it gives the impression you are hunching down. Good thinking, Nestor.

Ouch... just, ouch... Sorry, I've got to go shampoo, I feel a strange tingling....

Cool!

Touching too many toads huh? Very well done and very funny. Your expression makes it. The one minor criticism I have is that the two "warts" on the viewer's furthest left are too acutely angled... they don't seem to quite go with the curve of your head and give some indication to the illusion. Nice job.

hmmm...interesting

Excellent!

Great shot. How contagious is he?

worst than SARS... :-)

This is sooo cool Nestor. 6/6

Interesting image. The only distraction IMHO are the shoulders. Very cool work!

dear Nestor - i don't mean that. it wasn't revengefu.don't be angry - came back and change ratting just how it was please !!!(sorry for my english). This is my hand :o) (for peace of course)

(BTW - I visited Your folders many many times and i will - because i like it)

just checking up on your work, this one made me laugh. Nice stuff. Keep up the good work.

Nice composite works relly well should we call you shell head or lizard man. I think lizard man is better nice job.

Great concept and I like your expression and hunched shoulders. The composite fails a little on the left though. The bumps are much more brightly lit on the left, yet the skin is evenly illuminated. This calls attention to the different illumination. Thomas also noted the bumps are more acutely angled on the left side and looking at the picture again, I'd agree. Despite my nitpicking, I really do like it.

I think that nitpicking in photomontages like this are *absolutely necessary*, since it is everyon's normal reaction trying to find the mistakes in an unreal object.

 

I'll correct this one in the future and I will repost it. Thanks for your remark.
