Disneyland Photoshop Competition - Round 4 - Poll
JBodine's phenomenally popular Disneyland Photoshop competition threads have reached their fourth installment of inventive visual trickery in the Magic Kingdom. The rules are simple. A source photo is posted, then it is up to the MiceChatter's imagination to come up with a new, sometimes bizarre, reinvention of the photo. At the end a winner is voted on. If you know how to play with Photoshop then jump in and join the fun!
