Cheers everybody,

Yesterday I got such a great and funny critique from Robert aka "perryhooter" that I decided to play along.
So, this is my post for you Robert! And you were right!!! Smurfs do pass around here :D

So my message will be: walk carefully through the woods. You may find some friendly reatures around ;)

have a great day and Thx a lot for stoppping by!!!

Stef :))

Adjusted colour balance, crop a bit and that was it!!!!



ps: ok, just kidding: I had this Smurf image I took 2 years ago, when visiting the Centre Belge de la Bande Dessinée. So I cut off the Smurf, resised it and pasted on the top of the mushroom. I fixed a bit his nose, since the paint was a bit falling off.
Sorry if my PP is not as good as Alain's aka "werewolf"... But I REALLY tried :)

Hi Stefania

The Smurfs fair take me back, Old Papa Smurf and his wee blue friends!

I find it hard to look at this and not smile, which I guess was your intention - mission accomplished! Some good pp work here, well done.

Hello Stefania!

Great work, I like Papa Schlumpf. ;-)
Diana

This is very cute and funny too. Well done on superimposing Mr. Smurf on top of the mushroom. All that is missing a small drop shadow on the smurf to make it more realistic.

Thanks for the laugh Stefania !

Cool idea. ! I might have just whitened a bit more the white on our little caracter here. and move slightly your POV to the left to have a different diagonal with the mushrooms. I will try a WS tonight at home (^_^) .

Love this cute post .
Cheers!
Robert

Hi Stefania
What a wonderful Smurf shot...
Well done in your PP work.. I also love your WS

Tricia

I heard of magic flying carpets... But a Magic flying mushroom... Hummmm perhaps this is not a smurf but an hallucination..... I recommand to not fix too much that photo.. It's nice! Colorful and funny....
But we don't know so much the secondary effects :)

Hello Stefania

Having just read your note in forum (Welcome back) I thought I would check your gallery. For me this image is so funny... Smurfie has been my nickname since i was a child and I really could not stop giggling when I spotted this shot. Lovely capture in the first instance with good sharpness and colours, your PP work is excellent, hes looking as thught you caught him by suprise.

TFS kind regards Helen
