    When you click on the final image it brings you to the wrong full size image. Just letting you know! Thanks.

      Thanks. All sorted out now.

    Sorry but how is this a premium tut? Looking at the high res it looks very cheaply comped together, if I were to pay to watch this I would expect a bit more quality ;) at least match the retouching to the scene a bit better.

      Felt the same way.
      Nothing personal ed but the result of this tutorial is really horrible. Looks unfinished.

    Sorry to the great Mr. Ed Lopez, but this one doesn’t look like a premium tutorial to me.

  • Mikkel

    It does look like a free beginners tutorial… The little explosions and the blurry bug – I don´t know… Could be more realistic.

    I’m a beginner, but this is really horrible.

  • NoHardFeelings

    No, this IS really the worst tutorial I’ve seen this site publishes. The final image is terribly put together and my money is better spent getting mugged than paying for this shitty tutorial.

    Awesome! This is definitely the BEST tutorial I’ve ever seen! For real! :D I *LOVE* it! LOVE IT! How’d you do those bugs dude? Coming out of the ground and everything!? So totally far out! I’m going to recreate these right now! I’ll add some bugs to a portrait photo and give it to my mom! She’s totally going to freak out because she’ll think that some bugs are crawling out of the picture! YEAH!!! HAHA!!! Thanks BIG TIME!
