Contest 51: The weighting game
Spotted this chap on a station platform this week, and managed to snap a picture of him without his realizing it. My apologies if this happens to be your father, or especially if it's you. Looks like he's somewhat horizontally challenged, wouldn't you say? The Atkins diet takes months. Think you can achieve the same results in just a week? Oh, and of course there's no holding off until the last minute any more - feel free to post as and when, as usual. High res is here.  |

Hmm.. I wondered why some strange guy was randomly taking pictures of me at the train station. It all makes sense now 
I like the filename btw. 'Bigman_big.jpg'. Made me chuckle. |

I haven't been in the Photoshop mood lately, but I really enjoyed this challenge. I like editing people/animals, it is fun and pretty challenging. Full size version linked here: http://img58.echo.cx/img58/4371/bigmanbigfinishedlarge0jq.jpg

I didn't want him to lose too much weight in one day. He could be slimmer in the face but he is a Big man.  _________________ -Never met a PS'er I didn't like- Will Rogers |

Re: Contest 51: The weighting game
A few days at the gym should do him good. 
I like the change of clothes I gave him... and I'm especially proud of the extra arm I managed to expose. But he just doesn't look very integrated within the scene, like he's just imposed on the top. I tried to hide a bit of him behind an element of the original picture, but there was nothing to hide him behind, heh. So in the end I just cropped it instead, 'coz I'm lazy.

Re: Contest 51: The weighting game
I decided not to opt for the original picture this time since it was boring scene, but if you wanted to you could have used the clone brush in order to recreate the parts of the scene that are missing. _________________ -Atomic |

Okay, I reduced the man, but his clothes just hang on him. Oh crap! Did Steve mean make him slimmer?  |

Re: Contest 51: The weighting game
The problem with dieting is as soon as you stop, you gain all your weight back and more.  |

There's always a chance that, if you diet too long, you'll soon disappear.  |

Steve, shame on you, you know how touchy some people are about their weight. Didn't realise you were taking his picture ? oh he knew... he most certainly knew....  _________________ minds are like parachutes - they only work when they are open |

Haha Glen, Elvis has certainly let himself go - what am I saying he died on a toilet after eating too many cheeseburgers and barbituates how much more 'let go' can you be
