The last pic is pretty damn amazing. What did you do to touch up the photo?

I duplicate the background layer.
Then I use the lasso tool to select all the details, like the hair, eyes, bikini
I delete them.
Then I use the diffuse anisotropic filter tool twice.
Then I use the eraser tool to erase anything that it blurred that shouldn't.
next I flatted the image and set the levels and saturation.
lastly, the wall was looking dithered, so I lasso up the walls, or the places that looks dithered, and I use the gaussian blur tool on it.

The OP just blurred his picture.

Your first is the second best, but I like his darker colors better. The second picture is just too blue.

I will give you 10000 bllion points for linking to some nice wallpapers.

Oh yeah, -1000000000 gazillion points for arguing with the judge. So better start linking some more nice wallpapers :laugh:

The OP didn't just blur his picture, not anywhere close!
His contrast is way too high. It was high to the point that the hair lost many dark shades.
I think you need some photoshop skills yourself to be a good judge ;)

Wow, I just woke up and this is still going? Awesome. :D

I seem to like the solid colours more though because they're brighter... Not lighter, but the blues are darker and the tones are richer.. but that's just me. :D

I see we have a competition here, huh? :p

I am currently rendering the winning submission. It's taken about 10 minutes so far and is using 98% of my processor's capacity. I can't wait to see what it looks like. I built a macro to do it, I'm throwing that bad boy away :)
I wish I'd have chopped in a closeup of the one-eyed to make it worthwhile.

These two are nice... The first one looks like it's airbrushed though, but it has a richer tone...
The second is good too, but you can see individual hairs on Jolin much clearer.
