If you are, so are we, Mike. Looks fine. : )

How about distancing yourself from this project for a while and return to it in a few months' time? I'm sure the future will yield its own changes on such processing approaches. Don't be hasty... :) Take your time... (just my couple of cents)

Thanks for sharing,

yes ok i can get a bit obsessive at times, but it is a way of practicing photoshop.
back to proper imaging.

thanks for patience

:) Mike, I hope I haven't offended you in any way.

I'm sure practicing Photoshop won't just end with this portrait + background blending and you'll proceed with the other photos you shoot in the mean time. What I meant was that, your views on handling such imagery may slightly change over time and maybe you'll find a better way of expressing this photo combination. You know how time changes our perception on things by putting things in a different perspective.

hi aster
honestly i have never been offended on this sight, but it is true if i see an image and i think i can work it, i will get a bee in my bonnet and keep on when i could as you say come back later, in fact i have cocked up many things not just images for example leeky central heating tighten the joint leak stopped, but i had to go that bit extra and eneded up getting a plumber!
so i know were your coming from.
all best

Welcome to my world, Mike. It started with a leaky faucet in the kitchen, replaced the washer to prevent leak, leading to replacing the faucet. Tried to replace the faucet and that lead to replacing the sink. :| To cut the chase, 4 months and $70K later, ended up with new kitchen cabinets, floors, apliances and oh, yes, new faucet. :lol: You are lucky to stop at just calling a plumber. :D
