Hi Ya'll - if anyone would like to critique my submissions and recommend improvements I am all ears, just PM me or leave a comment or a vote (vote preferred). I really want to learn to be creative with PS and push past my photo retouching skills into while new realms. Please ignore the gnome picture, oh yea and the dam picture too... those are rubbish.

Thanks all!!!

Ask me how can I do this technique in photoshop, I will give advice. but don't ask me how to win because I'm still trying to figure that one out!

I have learned so much since joining this site, and what I have learned so far is:

Leave text out of your image (if possible)

Limit yourself to the use of filters and third party plugins (the top choppers will notice this in an instance)

Watch your shadows, perspective, selections, and color adjustments

Be original (try not to copy other styles)

And most important have fun and practice everyday!

Oh, also get Advantage, it will help.

I have a long way to go before I rank with the works of Marco, Shaman, Billtv, Rey Rey, Claf, and all the other top choppers.

I have fun, love the community, and one of these days I will get that first win

i think you did good with your last post, almost voted for it remindes me of the last time we had global warming, river Idel, Bawtry, 1973.
