wow. how on earth do you manage to navigate through the perils of drop down menu's and find the strength within yourself to click on an effect?

They aren't too bad man, i'd say i like the second last one best.

One peice of advice though, with photoshop, try not to just add a filter and be content with yourself. Sure, i'm no photoshop freak, but it gets so repetitive people thinking that because they make a photo distorted all of a sudden it's interesting. Try enhancing the colours, sharpening it, or adding in a lighting effect of some sort. But only subtle. That way you spend longer than 5 mins on it, and you get a much better image.

Just a thought. Keep it up though.

Number seven looks awesome.

Oh i know i didnt spend long on them maybe 10 -15 max im not admitting that these are masterpieces i was just bored a thought i would have a play. Its a BDT. And i didnt use photoshop, used someother program, and no need to have a go at me i said people had done it before and its nothing special.:D

2nd last is the best, they look really cool

Just a 10min jobby ..... practise makes perfect!

Multi layer, desturate one, erase over the colour you want to show thru and bleed colour from behind. Zoom blur with some lighting affect and a frame ROCK ON !!!

Thanks that looks awsome, its going into the photo collection.

thats awesome, loving the gold one

Like Pharcyde said, have a play with creating layers and work on each layer to get a desired effect. The basics for editing a MTB photo are quite simple, you make the rider one layer, you use the background as the other layer. Edit each layer to get a certain effect and there you....a photo edit to your liking.
If you start changing colours and blur effects on the background layer you'll usually find the rider layer doesn't need too much editing.
Keep up the good work.;)

I thought number 7 looked the best but I also like the gold one. Actually there all pretty good.
Great work:)
