OK, I know I am going to suffer in this challenge, and I actually have a fear that I may gain the dreaded brown ribbon and knowing the skill of many of the people on this site (who to be honest I find inspirational on many occasions) there are going to be a lot of paint it blacks that are delivered a hell of a lot better than this
However, the facts are these
1. I wanted to enter the challenge
2. I have been gifted through the generosity of a DPCer who wishes to remain anonymous Photoshop Elements 5. I am a real dunce a PP and I have been experimenting. I feel I owe it to not only myself but also the DPCer to try and use their gift wherever possible. Believe it or not this actually represents a significant step forward for me.
If you marked this low then I can understand why and I hope you dont feel this entry was wasting your time
Prediction....Ouch!!!! (Please let it be above 4)
Disqualification Details
You may use a cloning tool or small healing brush for the sole purpose of removing sensor dust or hot pixels. No other spot-editing is allowed.
Can't really say I like the black lol. You did do a nice job of getting the hand in focus. Maybe next time just dip the brush in a big glob of black paint and have the paint drip from the brush. Might be easier?
