WOW, what a close contest! We even had a tie for first and had to go to the tie breaker.

Contest FAQs

What happens in a tie for first?

The tie breaker is determined by who has the most first place votes. If it is a tie again, then we will look at who has the most second place votes and so on until a winner is determined.

And the winner is....Soleah!

Congrats Soleah. Your work was really superb. I for one wouldn't mind some hints as to your technique.

Thanks, everyone.

Sorry, I only got back today. Had problems with my ISP since March.

In recontructing the baby's face, I used the faces of the 2 boys,
1. Copied each in it's own layer
2. Resize it to fit the baby's face
3. Lower the opacities to blend well
4. Masked some areas to preserve whatever details existing in the baby's face, especially the eyes and eyebrows.

Great job, everyone for tackling this one.
