This is my submission to the Advanced Photoshop Cover Contest, and it was one of the 4 selected images!
:boogie: :boogie:



The contest was to take one of 10 istock images that the magazine chose and turn it into something cool. Of course, this was right up my alley so I had to give it a go.

:bulletblue: Here was the original photo... [link]

:bulletblue: Photographer: Katja de Bruijn
:bulletblue: Model: Vlada Varevko

Like in any contest, I tried to think of what the judges wanted to see and since the work from my AmalgaMATE series had been on the cover more than once before, I continued with that look and I added somewhat of an athletic feel, like she's a futuristic soccer player (popular in England) ;)

I'm trying to think of why I picked this name 'Dexteria' (I can remember rushing to finish and naming it was the last thing I did). The dictionary defines dexterity as: Skill and grace in physical movement. I think that fits.

:bulletblue: Favorite comment to date: 'That is absolutely amazing! Congratulations. I'm very, honestly happy for you - This is proof of what hard work and dedication to your art can accomplish. You deserved that prize, is what I'm trying to say in my long-winded way. X3' ~Cake-the-Crab
