I know I am asking for too much. :) Congrats buddy! Thank you very much :-) A complete tutorial would be very long to write and I unfortunately can't afford that time, but I made the PSD file available (added the link at the end of my notes). Just disable all the groups, then enable them one by one to see how that was constructed. It should be quite easy to follow, but you can always PM me for some information if needed.

It was very generous of you to make the file available Christophe! What a way to give back to and mentor a community of lifetime learners! Thank you very much for your generous offering of the photoshop file!

Christophe, your notes start with:
For this entry, I decided to create something simple, for a change
You said it all. The one time where "less is more" truly applies. You created a strong image, still a photograph, with a clear focal point, a splendid atmosphere, a great economy in details. Expert editing but not a book illustration where the medium does really not count.

I liked your photos before you got immersed in photoshop which took over the photography.
This photo gave me the feeling that you were going into the direction of illustration:
. The majestic, sometimes aloof Mont Saint Michel became the princess castle.

This is the reason why I do not mark your shots. I commend you for the photoshop technique, your extraordinary diligence , the perseverance and enthusiasm and wish that you'll develop more and into different directions. Sometimes the cheers of an audience makes one stuck to one road while there are so many other possibilities.
Keep exploring!

The odd thing about cats is you can never get them to dress up like a maid and furthermore have the audacity to scratch curiously at the rare "blue" moon. I love that about cats and quite enjoyed this image. The color choice speaks like a Judi image. +FAV

Not your usual style, but still amazing. I was in front of my computer with my niece (she's a huge fan of your works, especially because she loves France ^_^) and I said: even if it's not his style it must be his ;)
