 I learned a couple of things during this challenge.

1) Peas smush easily.
2) There is something very pleasing about smushing peas.

Post:
- Levels / saturation / contrast
- Burned shiney forehead
- Cloned out dust spot
- unsharp mask


Thanks you everyone for the comments and votes! This was a really fun challenge.

I don't know exactly what to say about this. It's a good play of words on the Black Eyed Peas and I like how you portrayed it.

As was mentioned, the lighting isn't the best. If you would have lit this from overhead, it might have been more even. As it is, the top left is lit well and the rest of it is kind of dark and flat.

Also, the face is a bit distorted. Yes, it's a comical face and not an exact depiction, but I feel it's missing just a little something. Another kind of nitpicky thing, the shriveled peas don't really mix well with the round ones. I'd go with either one or the other, or have them separate for different parts, but not mixed together like they are.

Also, the color is a bit flat and it doesn't quite pop out at you.

Hope this helps.

I was going to say this was soooo corny!!!!

But then I realized they were peas and not corn, so it wasn't an accurate depiction.

This is soooo peavy!!!

Creative idea. I would have overexposed enough to get the bg really white, then work on the dark areas to bring them back a little.
