And sometimes you get midway threw an edit before you decide you made the whole thing look like crap and you delete it out of frustration!!! >_<  That's what happens to me at least. Haha. XD

I really like the idea and location you chose, however I'd like to see what could be done if it was worked on a little more, don't quite see it as portfolio ready.

From the rules:

"This forum is a place for challenges ("Photoshop Tennis"), unofficial retouching/manipulation contests, and a place to provide samples for others to work on.

Contests and challenges belong here.
Images provided for others to experiment with/on belong there.

Note: This is NOT a ‘do my work for free’ forum."

I did a quick edit because you were lamenting the absence of edits. Seems I'm still the only one smile. I used the image you provided to experiment with (as per the rules).

I must admit that I am disinclined to 'work' on it a little more. That would feel like 'work', and doing more than a 'quicky' for fun would feel like doing a client project for free (which is against the rules).

I will pull the image (I just park it on mm as a launching spot anyway).

I hope the other freebies you receive are 'portfolio ready'. All the best.

that's fine, I understand, you can keep it up just my opinion and I more meant that it didn't fit into my portfolio
