My husband, again! Projected the image of a metal tower on him while he stood in front of a screen wearing a white shirt. Levels, channel mixer, dodge and burn highlights and midtones, cloned out a few lines of light on neck and face, unsharp mask, sharpen edges.

I needed to work on this more..add more realistic things to my husband's face: ie, wires, circuits, etc..but I did take it at 10pm the night of the challenge and was running out of energy.

Very nice and very convincing. Bumping up.

Good job with the editing but the lights on his face could have been done without.

I like the concept, but the execution is lacking. The projection on the shirt looks fairly good, but on the face it just looks odd. Adding another element to complement the illusion (e.g. a torn cheek with circuitry visible under the skin) would have dramatically helped this photograph. The lighting looks rather flat. While this may have been necessary due to the technique that you used, increasing the contrast in your image editing software would have given this image a lot of additional depth.

Great idea, but I find the shadows and lights on the face to distracting.....

I really like this concept but for some reason this is not that convincing of a presentation. To me a bit more polishing could have really brought this to life. Maybe sharpening up the "body" a bit and cleaning up the white part too. A cyborg could be a really cool thing and this just seems less than finished. I do realy like the concept though and you're definitely onto something....

The second cyborg photo I've encountered and this one is pretty good as well. Unfortunately, the lighting on the face takes away from the overall feel for me. I love the idea of projecting an image on a white t-shirt to make it look see-through. Good job on that! 7

very well done and a great idea...probably would have been good to clean up some of the dust marks on your collar and on the wall as they look distracting to me
