Battle 37

About Photoshop Battles

A subreddit for people to use photo manipulation software to create new images.

Official weekly battles are held where entries are removed for the first 24-hours to give an opportunity for more detailed submissions.

Battle winners pick the photo for the next battle (only upvotes are counted) and all entrants are given subreddit flair.


Rules for Submissions:

I. No Requests or Questions

  • Requests, such as "Please photoshop me or my friend", can be posted to /r/picrequests.

  • Questions, such as "Where else could he be?", or "What else could she be sticking in her mouth?" are not permitted.

II. Titles

  • Your title must be descriptive. Please accurately describe the subject of the photo.

  • No cliches such as "this has potential", "lets see what you guys can do", or "make this epic".

III. Image content

  • Images must be at least 500x500 pixels.
  • No technically low-quality images. Focus, framing, lighting, etc. are important.
  • No links to facebook.
  • NSFW tags must be used generously.
  • No albums, submissions must be a single image.

Submissions that do not follow the rules will be subject to removal by the moderators.

If you notice a submission that violates the rules, please report it to the mods, and send us a message letting us know why it was reported.


Commenting

  • Junk comments distract from this subreddit a lot more than in other subreddits that are not based on original content. As such, comments that are cliche, text-only, not an original work, memes, or off topic are subject to removal by the administrators without notification.

Voting

  • Please vote based on quality of work. Lazy shops shouldn't win just because they made you laugh. You can still vote funny stuff (we can't control you) but keep in mind that people spend lots of time making some really good submissions and deserve as much recognition as the next guy.

  • Please do not downvote submissions because they do not have obvious potential. An image that does not have an easy punchline may be the most creatively inspiring to others.

Please report inappropriate content to the mods.

Touch up the edges a bit and we have a winner.

[–]redwormcharlie 5 points6 points ago

The edges I spent some time with fixing already. I know I could do better I just didn't want to spend any more time on it. Edges man, they are a bitch.

[–]scottmacwatters 958 points959 points ago

Hey! My name is Scott MacWatters, and I'm an intern at the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, Lubbock's daily newspaper.

I took this photo, and I would be willing to post the high res photo if y'all would like!

I'm psyched that you all like the photo!

edit: Here's my 500px page where the photo was originally uploaded as proof: http://500px.com/photo/15856571?from=set/390593

[–]latino_steak_knife 56 points57 points ago

Always nice to see a fellow resident of Lubbock. Nice shot!

[–]scottmacwatters 35 points36 points ago

Thanks!

[–]DFWTooThrowed 16 points17 points ago

Two things:

  1. How the hell did he get all the way to damn near the 20-yard line before any police even noticed him?

  2. Please tell me you also got pics of him being form-tackled by all of the cops!?

By the way I was sitting in the student section near where he got on the field from so I saw this thing building up.

[–]trizzie09 59 points60 points ago

I was at the game and it seemed that the cops weren't really worried about him until the clothes started coming off but then about 30-40 cops surrounded him and he tripped before a good chase could ensue.

And here's a pic about a half second before he gets leveled.

[–]Ballsdeepinreality 12 points13 points ago

I just wanted to point out the difference in age and physique with both of them being in almost exactly the same position of their strides. Crazy.

[–]TheTravelingAirman 3 points4 points ago

They need canes and hats. Make 'em dance. Guess I've got something to do tomorrow morning then.

[–]TheNr24 6 points7 points ago

Do you have a source for that super awesome picture, or did you take it?

Edit: nevermind, it's a pic by the same photographer!

[–]trizzie09 7 points8 points ago

Yeah there we're tons of pics and videos from people in the audience but this guy definitely took the best ones.

[–]scottmacwatters 3 points4 points ago

I appreciate it!

[–]frotc914 3 points4 points ago

damn. that dude looks like he could be on the team, rather than sex-offending them

[–]MaynardJayTwa 2 points3 points ago

Holy shit.....this kid actually goes to Lubbock Christian Univ. down the road.

[–]BoringUsername1 1 point2 points ago

30-40 cops surrounded him?! Overkill much?

[–]Arx0s 0 points1 point ago

He's obviously exaggerating.

[–]scottmacwatters 11 points12 points ago

  1. Not sure. I got reaction shots of the players when they saw him. There weren't happy.

  2. I didn't. a WR walked in front of my camera. I was also on the south side of the stadium in the southwest corner using a 400mm lens shooting all the way across the field.

[–]Killer_Killa_Tequila 1 point2 points ago

Hello! I was born in Lubbock but now live in Washington!

[–]RollTide615[S] 205 points206 points ago

[–]highideas 13 points14 points ago

Scott did they interview that guy? What about that cop/security dude he looks happy but in a weird way tired from having to run? Did that dude get in a lot of trouble? Nice pic man, keep the wackiness from Lubbock coming!

[–]scottmacwatters 55 points56 points ago

I actually didn't.

Some people at The Daily Toreador, Texas Tech's student newspaper got his name, though. According to them his name is Brent Smith.

In a photo I captured a few frames later, you can see the attitude expressed in the first photo quickly turned as several other officers took chase: http://500px.com/photo/15856573?from=set/390593

After this, one of the football players walked between me and the scene, but Smith got tackled and dog piled by 3-5 officers.

As far as the officer's facial expression, I think I would blame it on running, but for all I know, he could be laughing.

I was more concerned about getting good photos of the game, which turned into a big upset. Many TTU and WVU fans came to the game thinking that Texas Tech would be ripped a new one by the WV offense. It turned into a big story, according to the Associated Press. Luckily, one of my other photos was picked up nationally and given an AP Top Pick distinction, which is a big honor for an intern like myself.

[–]highideas 14 points15 points ago

Thanks you for that reply! Texas Tech is making waves in the rankings! Hook em horns! j/k....go Red Raiders!

[–]scottmacwatters 12 points13 points ago

The Red Raiders went from Unranked on the AP poll to #18, and they dropped the Mountaineers from #5 to #17.

[–]hardwarecloth 6 points7 points ago

Wreck 'Em, Tech!!

[–]ThatTexasGuy 1 point2 points ago

It was a great Saturday night in the Hub City. There was much rejoicing.

[–]homergonerson 10 points11 points ago

That shot is beautiful. I can't imagine you get very good traction on the field with socks on though.

[–]_Spider-man_ 1 point2 points ago

Socks are actually pretty good for running on turf. It's carpet and smooth floors that fuck you in the ass.

[–]InterruptingWalrus 8 points9 points ago

Haha the second shot is awesome he looks like a running back. Congrats on the AP honors, keep up the nice work! Oh, and gems like this are always welcome on Reddit or /r/photoshopbattles.

[–]scottmacwatters 6 points7 points ago

Next time I get another like this, I'll be sure to post it here. It's one in a million, though.

[–]Uses_Nouns_as_Verbs 5 points6 points ago

Oh shit! This one is just as great as the first one in its own way! What awesome shots you got.

[–]president_truman 1 point2 points ago

Can you link to the picture/story? That's pretty cool.

[–]scottmacwatters 0 points1 point ago

The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal didn't really cover the streaker, since more coverage brings more streakers, but here's the slideshow we did for the event:

http://lubbockonline.com/texas-tech-vs-west-virginia/slideshow/texas-tech/2012-10-08#slide-1

We did a lot of work on getting those photos, and I know I would love to hear that people are looking at them.

[–]BoringUsername1 0 points1 point ago

If you're going to be streaking...ALWAYS KEEP YOUR GYM SHOES ON!

[–]Edgemere 11 points12 points ago

Heh. I know you irl. Sorta. We're friends on facebook.

[–]PossiblyTheDoctor 13 points14 points ago

Now kiss?

[–]Honestly_ 9 points10 points ago

Magnificent photo.

[–]Uses_Nouns_as_Verbs 6 points7 points ago

Sir, do you know what you have done? You have captured one of the funniest moments I have ever seen! Kudos and thanks for being cool about sharing the pic.

[–]PossiblyTheDoctor 3 points4 points ago

You are the MAN, man!

[–]nittick 1 point2 points ago

Which would be your favorite edit of the photo? Or the one that made you laugh the most?

[–]scottmacwatters 3 points4 points ago

There's a lot of great edits. Some are pretty offensive and possibly racist, but these made me laugh uncontrollably:

Actually, about Bubble Girl, I think the streaker photo could be placed nicely in the foreground of a lot of photos since it's slightly out of focus to start with.

[–]burman26 -1 points0 points ago

[–]Disgustapated 500 points501 points ago

Does an animated .gif count? http://i.imgur.com/c0EkR.gif

[–]latino_steak_knife 50 points51 points ago

Perfect. Absolutely perfect.

[–]Disgustapated 27 points28 points ago

Thanks. There's many errors, but I am in no condition to put that much effort into it.

[–]Shimshamwow 4 points5 points ago

[–]boredlike 6 points7 points ago

It most certainly does.

[–]adalonus 15 points16 points ago

Make the candles upvotes and you double your karma with a "How I feel when I get an upvote" gif.

[–]whale_pubes 0 points1 point ago

I usually don't make comments as pointless as this one, but thank you. Thank you.

[–]trennerdios 2 points3 points ago

Oh dear lord, that is amazing. I knew that was Under Siege from the very first frame. Good work sir.

I wasn't sure what this was until i saw the birthday cake. Then I just couldn't stop laughing.

[–]ToastedCrispies 0 points1 point ago

This made me laugh so hard that my sides now hurt. And my head. Thanks for that. Completely made my day!

[–]frotc914 12 points13 points ago

Still not used to seeing dinosaurs with feathers.

[–]ImExcessivelyVerbose 29 points30 points ago

Really? Because I see them every fucking day when I go outside. They're sitting in trees, on power lines, in the road until they fly away as I drive along... Hell, a bunch of small brown fluffy ones are constantly picking at the grass outside my door unless someone walks by and they fly away.

[–]xyzornat 5 points6 points ago

To be fair, that looks more like fur than feathers, so that could attribute at least in some small way towards your discomfort at seeing feathered raptors.

[–]auntiecoagulant -2 points-1 points ago

They didn't have velociraptors when I was a kid.

[–]figarothefieldmouse 0 points1 point ago

Well that's a shame. They sure had them during Jesus' days.

Judging by the streakers tightened joints, and the smug look on the cop's face, I'd guess he's in the process of being tased.
