I love the way you've pulled the grass up around their feet, (detail matters I think).

Did you add that in, or was it the way you clipped the source (hippo) photos - i.e. were the hippos standing on grass or did you use some sort of clone or blur effect?

I'd have used a thin smudge brush in photoshop.

Hmm.

Wish I had thought of this. It really makes the hippos integrate with the scenery, instead of looking pasted on like mine do. I was just happy to have found a pic of a bloke in a labcoat who looked like he was holding a railing.

Sorry if I'm over-analysing. I just like to learn from what other people do here.

a crap pun is enhanced by lacking skills of execution

I used leet photoshop skills

1. get image of campus and of hippos from google
2. use campus image as background
3. stick tongue out and go "mMLGNLGMLGNGLGMLGN" while half arsedly cutting out the hippos
4. Paste a hippo on to the background, HEHE HMMLMGLNG HIPPO!
5. Paste another one! HAHAHA
6. Hmm, xflip that bitch
7. Paste another one make it smaller like it's in the distance, proper l33t shoppery like
8. oh yeah.. it's fucked up, rearange the layers so the small ones in the background
9. Save for web

Yep.

That's pretty much what the last half hour of my life was like, (with added scientists).
