Good effort from you both! My vote is going to go to Josh for this.

I'll start by commenting on Synchronism's piece. While there was no set size for this battle, I think the size that you chose here wasn't very suitable for the type of image. I would have a presented a much larger piece, as it shows the detail a bit better. It's a good practice with manipulation but all too common, lots of people tend to remove eyes and add scars and things.

Josh's is a little different, the colours work well as do the balloons, although the work behind it seems very simple. A good choice of landscape photo though.

Josh: As Oliver said good choice of landscape photo I'm not quite sure how much you've done to the original but what I can see you have done has made it look better and the text is a nice touch

Sync: This piece doesn't appeal to me like Josh's I can see the effort is there but it doesn't work for me plus it's a bit small.

Vote: Josh

No competition here. My vote will have to go to Josh.

Sync, I see what you have tried to do, but the size just killed it. If you had made a bigger version of this, it would be a lot more appealing. I like the shot at it though. Good work.

Josh's entry was very good. Nice way to tone down the background from the original picture. The blimps are a nice touch. The rain seems good too.

Very unevenly matched battle. Nonetheless my vote belongs to Josh, hands down.

Josh, though I hate how you made the text so noticeable and out-there, the remaining features are purely amazing. I do think the little grudge you added near the clouds can be reduce some. Otherwise, choose a better suiting font next time around.

Sync, no offense to you, but this piece had no chance since Josh decided to not slack off for the ladies. I certainly agree with Flux, if you would of broadend the background by a lot, and perhaps added more detail, you would have had a better shot at beating Josh.

Josh wins.
