Buccaneer's pause

High Resolution

Hi @ all, this is my very first entry in the photoshoptalent.com community !

I got great help from friends in developing my Photoshop knowledge and I must say, without them I wouldn't participate here.

This image is entirely composed by myself, altough the effect idea has to be connected to the faboulous designer Abduzeedo. The cup 'o coffee has been selected out of the Crystal Clear Icon collection ( you can find link in descript. )

Any comments would be nice , they're important for me so that I can improve my knwoledge and skill, I learn out of my mistakes.

To create this effect, you have to follow 3 basic steps...

1° Create a background, the choice of size is custom, then make a gradient or choose a gradient overlay

2°) Insert and image of your choice


3°) Play around with the layer styles, the Color Dodge function and cloud filters

----------------------------------------------
Note:
This image was created out of the idea of a friend of mine and a fellow member of you all : Temple-Clause. It would be unfair I this entry should win the contest and he doesn't get the credit or even an applaus. He supplied the idea and concept andthat is the most imporant thing in creating Photoshop art. To avoid fights between us, his name is put here in the discription, as in my own opinion. Has to be in it to. In short: Without him I would be lost, as I do not have very much inspire.

Thank you all for understanding
