Big up to the editors.............

[Vantage]

I'd just like to give a big up to the http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=302434.

This is my first image created from scratch. And if it wasn't for the dive in, blatant, get on with it attitude, no matter what, get over yourself, where's the shark, meerkaat, that's your mum isn't it? Dirty *******! (you muppet) kind of attitude, I'd be still at first base.

Thanks guys

On a side note I'm totally off my trolly, ****ed!. Really!!!

Nice idea - and I spotted at least one word you have used twice. Amazing how that thread pushes your boundaries in editing isn't it

Impressive work - I wouldn't know where to start with that!

great job Rog!
(I was going to say it's a pile of dog eggs for a laugh... but credit where credits due )

i'm examined the image and i can't find any rude words in there either... which i thought you might have been tempted to slip in

Thanks Christine I hadn't noticed the double word but I'm not surprised as I started to get a little word blind with all the tinkering. Totally agree that the thread pushes your boundaries.

Glad you liked it

I wish I'd thought of that just to appease your sense of humour!!! Trick missed. Glad you liked it lefty.

I'm quite pleased with it but, one thing does bug me about is the rather large negative space to the left of the flash. I think it's crying out for something like a title or similar. I tried may different types but just didn't like the results I was getting Anyone else thing that area could do with something?

A big round Canon logo?

That's fantastic Roger. It could've been commissioned by a college

Very good effect, however, much like the referred to thread which I read and enjoy, it doesnt give any info on how the effect was achieved. Which as a n00b is at times frustrating.
At a complete guess, for the pic above was it originally a picture of a camera? then you maybe did high pass filtering/edge detection on it, then selected the lines, then made a path, then typed in the text? :shrug:
