Ghost Rider - "My favorite techniques are working with lighting," says Burazin. "Changing day to a night scene was part of the effects used in Ghost Rider. After changing the image to B&W in Photoshop by desatuation of colors, I used Mystical lights spotlight for the headlights and placing the subdued lights in the car windows. This can also be done with layers and using whites and grays painting a fog-like ray and bringing down the opacity." 2nd Place: Bobbie Goodrich, USA Red Canyon Run 3rd Place: Marija Milovanovic, Serbia Eyes of a Window 4th Place: Ed Hafizov, USA The Dawn Fairy 5th Place: Patrick McNamara, USA Boy in Lake Click here to view a gallery of the winning images and read comments from the winners Top 5 Winners, Photo Illustration (For images that take strong advantage of Adobe Photoshop's image-editing features including, but not limited to, special effects, composites, montages, etc., with or without the aid of additional software.)
