The Crestock Photoshop Contest 2007

good idea, but you tried to put too much into it, and then you added, in rather poor taste, a political slant that wasn't needed to pull of what you had going. if you had axed the banana and the bush in the smoke it works much much better. as it is now, it just seems disjointed and lost

Excellent piece! I truly love what you've done with the stock images to create a very successful and powerful statement about the absurd bush politics. I don't think too much was put into it like jcforge..i find you've made a beautiful artwork and the powerful images blended together really enforce what your trying to say. Bravo!

i will be happier giving u my vote.. but oh well, u still get my vote.

Looks like you've whipped up some controversy in your comments, but that's not what this contest is about; the art and your photoshop skills are stellar. Excellent use of the 5 images and I love the planes and swirls in the background.

I like the work done on this piece. As stated above, however, I feel that this just has too much going on. Me, I don't like the smudges you did with the smoke or the bush in the piece. The vector art, on the other hand, is very well done.
