ok. waiting

Hey i never said anything about cheating, all i said was that the base image has been deformed and its not exactly correct to do so,

I posted a thread in admin section we will wait and see what the judgement will be.

Here is some wip pics from the early steps:



We used and modded only the base pic (spherize filter and some transform)

The reason for the low quality is mainly the HDR effect and that we did it in rush.

i understand that you did Roobie

But modifying it so extemly is my concern as others has used the same angle and perspective,

Like I said will see what the other admins say =)

I know that I advocate our big opponent, but this chop is absolutely amazing and something new. typical effective photo with fisheye and HDR effect crazy stuff with great execution and it deserve to be there they do the same base so...but you decide and we must respect it

As i replied to Glac in the staffroom, this is completely my opinion:

Chopping nowadays is taking a real turn with new techniques and styles cropping up. I personally think we should welcome this as opposed to penalising it. For me, Team Hungary have gone out on a limb with an amazing result. Sure, they've skewed and distorted the base picture, but they started with the base picture and to achieve what they have done must have taken some wicked skill.

god damn Jacek, your team haven't failed to amaze thus far. Amazing work ^^

Maybe too early to predict a winner, but... y' know

We have discussed it and you are NOT discqualified.

So your chop is a OK .

good luck and I wish you the best.

Thank you

... I always try to do something different

Epic job Hungary! First chop ever that I see which is choped in HDR! lol. You are not just setting the standards for WTB, but the entire chopping comunity! The chop should be sent to HOF. Truely amazing job.
