First one still has a white line around it .. but can probably be taken away with a defringe .. but the 2nd one is totally prem ^_^
Well. i think it's all about luck, experience and taking your time. I did those two in about 15 hours total (9 hours first, 6 hours second). You need to have an eye for the color-differences. I used extract on those two. but i'm learning the polygonal lasso tool, as we speak. I'm gonna send you an pm, with the explanation <!--QuoteBegin-Snuggle Are all premium renders this great?! *Claps* Amazing job.[/quote] LOL, no not all of them look like these. But there are very good renders, even better than mine. If you have access to premium section. you should take a look at the Render Of The Week topic. Those are all superb high quality. I got second with my second picture (the girl on the pole). So imagine how good the winner would look.
