Pretty slick. The style works well with the source image.

 

Composed a little lower and I would have sworn it was an advertisement for jeans.

I like it.

 

Wow....nice shot! Nice girl as well! I agree, it looks like an ad for jeans.

 

sweet.. thats the exact feel I was trying to get out of it...

 

So you dating that girl or what Jake? If not, I vote ban.

 

there we go

 

No she has a bf.. just a friend I used as a model for some shoots, I was digging through some shots the other night looking for one to test with.

 

I agree with pretty much everything already said. It's a cool effect, but really has to be a specific subject. Sunsets/landscapes wouldn't look right, but I think you pegged it spot on. Cute girl too, hard not to give the picture a with that.

 

Yeah I think it mainly works with people in certain environments, and I might go out in the city soon and see how I like it with city architecture and the rough surfaces of side streets and etc. Hopefully I'll get some time and can mess with it some more and I'll post more. I need to go find some other models to use too so I'm not bugging the same friends all the time.
