I wish number 1 was a little bit darker, but other than that #1 is my favorite. I like the mirror idea alot.

Wow, this looks really freaky upside-down!

There's a lot of clarity in the mirror... it's like looking at a 2 headed creature.

I didnt catch the line in the first one. I originally liked number 2, because of the contrast, but I felt that the cut out is too noticeable.

I wish I knew how to make the background darker but keep her not so cut out looking? Anyone want to share? on maybe how they would do it?

From the second I looked at these I thought they were fake, after looking for a good 5 minutes I'd say without a doubt this is all post. If somehow I am wrong, I'd be very surprised.

Her neck, arm, and mouth are all at the wrong angle. Not to mention the reflection would look completely different. Plus it appears you cut her out, and a bit of a hack job at that since you cut it with either the pen tool or brush tool there are no strands hanging naturally.

Was I right? Or is it just 12:30 am and I'm somehow going crazy?

 

[ababysean]

No they are not fake.

She IS on a mirror, I'll post the original.

What other tool is there to use, how else would I cut her out? I want to know so I can try! lol

I don't like that her top blends in with the background, it is difficult to tell that she is laying down.

Now that it isn't late at night I can see how you shot it :3 I swear last night it looked so fake xD

There are a lot of techniques for cutting out hair, I like to chop it off how you did, but then go back and make new hair. This way I can control exactly how it looks (using a wacom pen and the clone stamp tool)

 

[ababysean]

oh ok, good idea. I think I'll try that!

 

[D-B-J]

they all seem underexposed..

2 and 3 are the faked hack jobs. Look at the lower left hair. Work on your selections, and edge refinement. Look up how to cut out hair or stray hair on youtube. Many people use the channels palet among other things. Not a bad shot to start with though.
