I'm not really happy about how this came out -- It was a mistake to put green characters on a green background. But since the only reason I even thought of this idea was in response to one of the contest categories, I decided just go ahead and post it and maybe I'll benefit from some intelligent criticism. But I at least think the idea is amusing: Bandits disguised as trees robbing the local nobleman. I only have two photos because it's really meant just to be seen from one viewpoint.

I got a good chuckle at this one - I think it's a great idea.

Simplistic yet creative at the same time. Way to go.

Surely the camouflage effect was what you were going for? It looks good anyway, the only thing I can suggest to maybe make them stand out a bit more would be to use some foliage/plant pieces in the background rather than the slopes - so that the textures are at least different. Also the sun seems a bit (scarily) massive... The rest is great, a pretty unique and interesting effect overall.

Very funny ! I remember there were a kid in "Gremelins" (1) (movie) who is disguised as christmas-tree.

For me the first pict was OK for understand how is the set.

Isn't that the point though, to blend in?

It looks pretty good to me. Great idea :D
