Yes? * Traveller

Alas, the lack of grass in the major image makes this more problematic I fear. However, I did work on this one harder and I am better at my technique...well...

Alternative Title:

Si? El Senor Gringo, You Do Not Like My Footwear? It is not Masquline, as you Say?

Canon EOS 350D
1/250s f/8.0 at 131.0mm iso400 full exif

Love the expression... "...and!... your problem IS?..." lol.

You are really having fun with this Trav? The task is sooo much easier if you can shoot the objects (shoes in this case..) against a plain background. Much easier to extract and you can add (clone in..) grass or whatever is needed later.

Great post ~ Regards Melbob

Somebody is having way too much fun! Wonderful stuff, Traveller. And the duck's expression suits the title to a tee. Regards jnconradie

Thank you for the thoughtful criticism, Michael....all my shoes were shot sitting on grass, I was shocked when I went to put this together and the grass that worked so well on the loafers...wouldn't work here....in fact, it caused great problems in erasing it from my ocean shoes. Damn...

Yes, Melbob did some nice shadow work on his Gennie...this NEEDS something.

Best Wishes, Traveller

This is great fun Traveller. The fact that you chose this image of the duck looking at us straight on is brilliant, it makes the statement. Your compositing skills are really soaring. A suggestion would be to add a bit of shadow inside the shoe and underneath the shoes. Well done. -Michael

You seem to be having a lot of fun with this topic, Trav...and learning some PS techniques in the process. Now, if I could just figure out masking layers.... LOL
