I voted for chess. If you wil choose the girl you might wanna consider toning down the saturation. While I like bright colors, that seems like and overkill

im in the same boat. she might be attractive, but the saturation on that picture is overboard. very nice chess set. how did you do it?

Chess has my vote.
The girls face is somewhat washed out and it looks like she only has 1/2 a nose.

I guess i never really paid attention. I smoothed out the picture of the girl a little too much.

The saturation was more for giving it a better color. the original grass was kinda blend and boring.

I've done that before as well, but i think it's a bit too much now. A tool you might want to explore is the "Selective Color" adjustment layer. Lets you adjust certain color at a time (meaning you can adjust only lets say greens or red in your picture)

Crop #2 square and rotate it 90 deg counterclockwise?

if your thinking it would make it square to the image, it wont. Because of the way it's show at an angle, not on a slant...

no....was just thinking that upside down doesn't work well.
