I used to do this with flower shots a couple of years ago...this has so much more impact! Excellent job!

I think we should all have a go and post our efforts waddayulotfink?

Thanks for the comments:thumbs: I was feeling bored haven't not taken any photos for a while, so I thought I'd have a go at honing my photoshop skills.

I think Marianne's idea is a good one too :)

scouring my folders for a suitable image this very moment...I told Barry I was going to do some knitting on my newly cleaned up old machine form my previous life but this is sort of similar...Barry has gone food shopping BTW ;)

Quite often I find effects like these a little tired and cheesey. I REALLY like this one though. Perfect choice of subject and great execution there.

Personally, I think it might look even better with the support beam inside the frame.

here's my idea....I didn't use the video tute that Mike posted....I used layers and layer masks and lassos and stuff ;) ....do you want to start a new thread for us to post in or is it ok to post in here?

If I were you I'd take out the sky in the boat so you can see the frame behind it.

I looked at this earlier and thought it was good but something was not quite right....now I know what.

Like yours and Mariannes too.

And dazzajl, is this what you meant?

Yup, exactly. Although Pete's suggestion has far more impact.

Good stuff, getting even better. :)

That boat looks fantastic, and Mariannes shot looks very good, the drop shadow really adds to the effect and works well.

Here is one I did a long time ago, youve inspired me to try my hand at it again. :)
