 Loved the challenge. Got to play with several photoshop tools that I rarely use like liquify and smudge. Took the photo against a white background and cloned away my neck and shoulders. Used the gradient tool to create the shadow. The lips, nose, and eyes were made larger using the transform tool. I used wet Kleenex behind my ears to push them out like Alfred E Newman!
Disqualification Details
This has been the subject of a lot of SC discussion and has led to a 7:1 vote for a DQ. Even with the most liberal interpretation of removing distracting elements, this photo breaks a rule as it is written. The rules indicate that where distracting elements are removed, they must be replaced by what would have been there (I.e. behind the removed element). The creation of the shadow, within the cloned in/out area breaks this rule. That’s not to say that all SC agreed that what was removed was a ‘distracting element’ but it became a moot debate because of the shadow being added where there wouldn’t have been one.

GO, Larry! This is adorable. I think it just wasn't plastic enough for the other voters.

Not very plastic looking. Pretty funny though

A nine from me (earlier). Fabulous!

I didn't know that was legal in Standard. Way cool!
