As I said (I think) in your other post.. copy the BBcode box contents not the thumnail link and it will show in the thread....

Not sure this one works as well as the last. Looks more like a slightly clumsy cut out than the effect you want.

The car seat bracket(?) looks ugly and distracting too.

I don't know if you have quite got the grasp of this. The idea is that the person in the picture should be stepping out of the frame in one way or another.

At the moment you have a mishmash of both in the frame and out of the frame. I like the idea but the execution really isn't 'doing it' for me.

The edge of the car/carriage should be in the frame and the foot should be stepping out. At the moment you have both. Try and follow the line of the gold below the door to stay in the frame and just have the foot stepping out. The red frame should be following the angle of the gold.

Looking at this picture I am not even sure it is suitable. Do you have the original for us to look at?

Sorry if I sound like I am being picky but it wouldn't be a picture I would want as a wedding photo.

Well youre getting the hang of it, thats for sure :thumbs:

Sorry to say, that I agree with your thoughts in that this one doesnt really work, (the last one was fab!)
But hey, youre sure getting some practice in! :)

You're getting there with the technique but I agree you're not using it to best advantage, Done properly, you get a real 3D effect. If the foot in the above shot was stepping out of the the shot into a white border it would be far more effective. ;)
