Description Ever wondered when you turned away from the mirror, if your image remains the same? Some believe that mirrors are doorways to other dimensions. What if when you are not looking something is reaching to enter our world. This sets the scene for my deviation. A bride about to be married, her maid of honor is helping. When she turns from the mirror something reaches for her and the maid of honor sees it and reacts in horror.

This is an entry for the and
Halloween contest.

I really like how the image in the mirror is reaching out and all decayed. I wish you could have made her gorier. But creepy none the less.

Great job! You just need to work on cutting and making things blend.

Thanks for your observation. I worked on this for 12 hours straight, that may be way it's not cut neatly. Mostly looking for the right images. Do you have any blending suggestions?

12 hours...wow! If you're using Photoshop, I would use a soft eraser to carefully go along the edges of the subjects in order to erase the background and give them a less extreme cut.

Will try. I have a bad habit of erasing too much. Thanks!

Thank you! I've only been manipulating for 4 weeks. Although, I have plenty of experience in Photoshop. Mostly I've done brochures for my company.
