Description Its here!

Contest entry for ~factorone33 , Now this is one of his photos but I've got permission from this journal to manip it [link] .

Setting an old abandoned railway line an in a sense you'll probably get how I named it.

Work: I did many major manipulations over the past month to this manipulation. I used stock photos to make shadow frames out of and that's a skill it took me a long time to master. I also messed with the contrast, saturation, brightness, color balance and gamma. Plus a few more adjust ments I may have forgotten. I did have some problems to: like the dog didn't come out quite right because of a mistake I made so I had to use a little blur to try and fix that. I also had trouble finding good stock of humans to use in this one, namely because I was looking for a full body pose I could work with. I had trouble finding a photo I could make look like a normal walker, mostly everything I found was ether posing like a rock star or was naked. And I couldn't work with those kinds of photos. I finnally found the photo of a girl like I was looking for which made the left shadow frame, but the male shadow I had to make digitally wich took me about 4 hours just to produce something is about 60 pixels and transparent. I tell you it wasn't easy. I believe the easiest part was the deer that only took me 30 minutes. All stock credits below

Credits: Orignal photo by ~factorone33 : [link] In addition I used the following stock Deer shadow frame made from stock photo by ~whet [link] Dog shadow frame from stock photo by ~fearawaken-stock , Left human shadow made from stock photo by ~Blondie-S-Stock [link] Right shadow frame pieced togther by your's truly.

Is this named from the Guns n Roses lyrics, or is that just coincidental? Either way, awesome manipulation, looks great

This turned out really cool. I can almost remember snowy winter day like this, minus the deer that close up. Really good job here.

Nicely done. I like the use of perspective and size with the deer, and the humans are suggestive enough to fit the profile of the shot. While the left human doesn't exactly "fit" the scenario, I can understand your fruitless efforts in searching for a pose that would fit the idea you were going for. The adjustments to saturation and color balance came out extremely well, and it lends to a more nostalgic feeling than before. It seems almost ghostly, really.

Yea the dog was a challange because I accidently shrunk it too early and the ears looked weird I do have a copy of the manip on photobucket before I made the adjustments to the dog. The only problem is photobucket shrunk it.
