Description
Lindsay's younger cousin, Stephanie, lives in San Francisco where public events that would not happen in most cities are common place there. This is a snap shot of Stephanie, with two of her parade float mates, attending the annual Love Fest Parade. As you can imagine, this event attracts photographers to it like dogs attract fleas.
Note, I continue my quest to learn how to blend virtual reality with real photography. I still have a long way to go. The high contrast of the original photo presented problems that I was not able to completely resolve.

Nicely done and of course DAZ had an entrant to!

The high contrast is always a problem, very hard to match the rendered model with the photo. But, you did a fantastic job with it. She fits into the image well and looks really natural standing there. Bravo on this my friend.

I think that the left foot shadow is a little bit too much dark.. Neverthe less it's a good work!

Well done Fitz. Although not completely perfect as you said yourself. Maybe you should loosen up the pose of lindsay somewhat. I miss the joy of the other girls in her. But your photo can be put right into the familiealbum.

Another great "blend". I see what Raages means, A more animated face and pose would help her blend in with the other 2 girls. But as far as blending DAZ with a real photo, it looks really clean. Lighting and shadows match really well. and her overall body style matches really well with the other 2.

Thanks and I agree. I got a bit lazy with that part of the task.

Superb work and nice blending, but for me, the light on the 3d character is not sufficently hard.

Yes, agree, altho it just as easily could be that the shadows on her body are not dark enough. Either way the demarcation line between the shadows and the highlights is too diffused. It needs to be sharper, but I when I tried to make it more distinct it looked very phony. In retrospect, the choice of the original photo was not good - even tho the content was exactly what I wanted - the contrast was just to high for me to work with effectively. Thanks for your input.
