Nice and clean dragonwarrior. Not too keen on the text on Clooney's face but that's just my personal preference. At the back I think Clooney's legs blend too quickly. I think if you start the blend higher it will flow in much better.

Trying to be constructive as always. :D

Yes, definately looks clean. I agree with SW on the text across the face. I think that it would look better if it was in a standard tagline format, either on the bottom or on the right as part of a background elements with some varying blur and/or skews to relate to the content of the statement.

As for the reverse... If you are trying to make it look as though he is actually in the field then some play with the image is in order. The grass that the image depicts is really not that tall. At most I would say halfway up the calf. I am not sure how much more of the pic is hidden away but I would say if you have more then it would fit better if you could at least see his knees fully. In order to finish the look off you will have to go in and draw a selection that conforms to the grass and mayby use the clone tool to add some blades here and there adding to the illusion.

One last reco for the back. I think that text for the synopsis can be brought down lower. It looks like it is riding too high at the top.

The update looks much better. Like the front now...and the back seems much more natural. I think I prefer the 2nd one.

thanx SW, i would agree, the second one

The second cover of the update defiantly is the right choice. I would add a drop shadow or something to the "The truth can be adjusted", because it seems to blend in too much with the tree, it may be the color of the font. However great job!

Can't see the updates on my end here.:(

heres the one i like

Tricky tricky... For the cloned leg portions make sure that you do not get repeating patterns. This is a dead giveaway.

Try and refine the edge of his trousers and get rid of that blue tint on his right leg. After that and some pattern removal he should be golden.

wasn't sure about "blue tint on his right leg" so gave him a new pair of pants,
mind looking at the real pic it does have blue in it, i think it's blue rather than a black suit

Could you try a black outline around the back "the truth can be adjusted", like it is on the title treatment? Also the new pants looks much better.:thumbup:

how about now

Much better, the problem is that it's blending in too much to the tree in the background. Again great job DW!

I agree looks much better. Those are some fine slacks. You should be a tailor.:)

Cool, i like the way the text flows in the same line as clooney's body, at you just using spaces or do you have any smart photoshop tricks to make it that way ?

As for the Front, it's definitly better than the first layout :)

:thumbup:

polygonal lasso tool (use a new layer for this) then goto path, at the bottom of that window goto (looks like a boomarang) make work path from selction, go back to layers window and when you click on T (for text) you will notice (for intance ) on the outline is different to say clicking in the middle of the (area) where you plan to put your text.
