We gave 44 Photoshop artists the same set of crazy files, here is what they came up with

Compositing is not easy, and having solid restraints make is even harder. A week ago we gave you a huge files package and asked to come up with something awesome. The first place reward, other than the obvious bragging rights, was a Wacom Intuos Pro and $2500 of textures goodness.

We have 44 submissions, and it took exactly 5 submitting till I knew I will have a hard time making the decision, so I pulled in the entire team from Rawexchange Germany for assist. If you like the results, thank them. If you think we chose poorly it is probably on me. So without further ado, here are the top winners from our composting challenge.

Oh, but first, here is a quick look on the kind of files we were giving away, and here is a link if you want to check the entire set of submissions.

The number one Winner who will grab the Intuos and $2500 in coupons is Divina Emily Dickinson Sanchez / The Birth of Venus

We also have a facebook favorite and the winner of $750 coupon for the Image Manipulation Store is Maxim Golovanov / Mother nature

We did not plan on having an honorable mention, but really, it was not easy and we only have one Intuos to give away, so I am making an ad-hoc decision and adding two honorable mentions who will win $200 coupon each.

Morgane Jeyden Ls (who also included a speed edit)

And John Mitchell / The Orc Queen
