Probably get a smack hand here but just wanted to add something..

It's aim is for newbies like myself... this has more than likely been said before many times also.. but what the heck..

I just wanted to say that These Challenges for me are the best ways of learning different tools and and ways of learning things in Photoshop...

I would say to all those who visit the challenges " give it a go "... even if you do not think you can do it submit something and you will learn more from that submission than thought possible with out a doubt . Even if you think it's the worst thing in the world submit it...

I have only been here for 2 months ( i think ) and new nothing of manipulations, how to do them or what tools to use. and within that time i have done i think 5 manipulations and learning every step.

So give it go..

I would also like to thank those who have give me such great help and advise in my time here which in tern gives me more confidence and knowledge of Photoshop.

THANK YOU ALL..

Special thanks to Inkz and Ibclare for giving so much help.. thank you...

Your welcome ;)

This ones called Obsession.. the girl behind the man is his obsessive torment in his mind.

Are self-portraits allowed in this challenge Inkz? :rofl:

Just one comment Inkpad, the area below the man's leg lets light through. Just a subtle darker line under the edge of the leg; the foot too. So maybe his torment is levitating him? OK, enough of the sarcasm (delivered in peace, lol). Just needs a shadow to ground him.

Hi paul...

Don't know why but i get a sense/feeling of dread when i look at it... it also mesmerizes me looking at the girl, i think something is going to happen behind her...

Mind you i had a scoop or 2 last knight..

I think your avatars are mint... this one looks like its taking an x ray of Homer Simpson when hes been on something...

Like it Paul thanks.

Thanks for the comments,it was my intention to make this and the others i have forwarded as emotional but in a stressed way, not the normal angelic or emotional lovey dovey way (nothing wrong with that), but i like the feel of dark and tense things over warm and cuddly for some reason?

I am glad you sense that there could be something behind her as that was my intention, but think of this also, is she really there or are you really in her way, and is she looking at what's behind you?

Oh no you've done it to me now Paul.. As my mind is already confused..

Didn't know if i was actually there are not. couldn't make my mind up if she is there are not. tried to push her down the stairs as she was scaring me at the thought of what was coming behind me.. THEN realized i wasn't there and fell down my stairs at home. On me way back to the ward again in an Ambulance, BUT there is hope... there is hope... "THEY FORGOT THE JACKET THIS TIME". BACK SOON..

Yeah it's a great piece Paul, nicely executed and it certainly does play with the darker side of your emotions. I've got that background stock but never managed to use it yet.

Nice work fella.

And yeah, it's good to see how people put emotion on a canvas and what sort of emotion it entails.
