Can I get some opinions on this?

This is kind of a large image so I'll just link to it. Can you guys ('n gals) check it out and tell me if it looks realistic. It ought to fairly obvious the change I made.

Looks good to me, don't know if ole George is all there tho...j/k

except for the change you made it looks real, I think.

I agree, apart from the change it all looks real.
nice job

Nicely done! and good thinking about doing the oversize so you dont get into hot water :)

Oh yeah.. looks quite authentic, except for:

the dark bg area behind where George's head goes. Looks like a quickly applied canvas bg... not what it should like at all.

the serial number on the upper right - '2 5' are out of alignment. sn on the bottom left, the '5'.

Looks like a scanned/copied image as the very fine line-shadowing under the 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" is blurry compared to an actual bill, as well as the very fine line-shadowing around the leaves, say.

the actual white bg is pretty good, maybe go a touch lighter or less contrast. But it looks quite real.

Now get some $20's and start printing ;) I'll PM you a PO drop box LOL ;)

Busted. Yeah it is. Actually it's two layers of canvas perpindicular to each other. I had tried for quite some time to fill in with the original background but it just wasn't coming out convincing enough. So I just decided to do away with the background and make my own. If I had enough sense to do that from the beginning then I would have had enough time to do it right...or at least better.

You'll have to take that up with the U.S. Government seeing as I didn't touch that part of bill. ;)

I'm surprised you noticed all that but didn't say anything about my signature on the bill.

And here's a slightly improved version:

I only fixed some smudges and blurring that I had down inside the collar.

LOL ok ;) Wasn't totally sure on that one. I compared it against an authentic bill here and my SNs were in alignment, so I thought perhaps you changed the numbers. :)

argghh! I KNEW IT! I KNEW there was gonna be something I missed *stamps feet* lol Good one. I did not see that all :D

I"m sure you must've tried either/both the clone tool and healing brush.. seems like it would work - in theory, anyway ;)

I still don't like that 'canvas'.. the rest of it looks so perfect except for that... Maybe you could grab and resize the bg off this - would that be worth a try? )

Here's a link to the site - some good images here ;)
