There seemed to be a bit of a grain issue going on with yesterdays upload which I now know the reason for :S So here is what I should have uploaded.

It seems more contrasted too so that's why I like this one more... that's very a creative collage !

@Kylie Greenan: I took the head off my razor and shone a torch through it. The backdrop was from my coffee machine and the smoke/mist effect was created from a photo I took of the fireworks from Lichfield festival last week. The two people are friends of mine. When I was photographing them it was crucial that their feet sloped to match that of the razor. Then I put it all together in Photoshop.
That is a piece of work my friend! Very artistic!

Hi Mike, I didn't think the grain was a problem, having said that there is some improvement in this image. However, what I still see are artifacts..? or ghosting mid left. If this is part of the effect ok, but it is very visible. Just thought I'd let you know.

@Observing: What you're talking about was always there. It's the curved section of my coffee machine where the cup goes. The main bank of reflective light, which came from my window is right where the people are. The other is what you're referring to. I did wonder about getting rid of it but with such a lot of empty space to the left of the people I decided to leave it in as a bit of texture. It looked a bit flat without it.
GREAT IDEA..........I LIKE IT.......CONG
