Attention new users of Photoshop – if you are creating a composite Shop, be very careful to get your shadows and reflections correct, but – above all – be sure to get rid of any stray body parts that don’t belong there. That sort of stuff really ruins the realism of the Shop.
The above photo is from a current “Got Milk?” ad campaign featuring US Olympic athletes. If I had to hedge a bet, Maritza Correia (far left) was probably in Leslie Osborne’s (2nd from left) position and those floating fingers on Maritza’s shoulder belong to Bryan Clay (top). Maybe Leslie needed to be added in after the fact and they figured that would be a good place to stick her. It would have worked if it weren’t for the fingers. The entire ad can be seen here, and as of this posting the image is still being used on the “Body By Milk – Games ‘08″ website.
7/31 UPDATE: It appears they finally caught on to the floating fingers – they have been removed from the main image on their website and on the advertisement download. You can still see the original floating fingers version of the ad here.

They fixed it! (sort of) Looks like they added in some white to make it look like he has reallllllllllly long arms!
Jason! You are right! The image on the front of the site they added in Bryan’s “arm”, but on the downloadable ad they just erased the fingers on Maritza’s shoulder.
