 Well this was extremely fun - my goal here was to go for the early nineties grunge concept with the grunge photo methodology... listening to nirvana while i did the post help a lot.

I hope I don't have to demonstrate all the steps because I can't possibly remember them all... anyway the basic photo is of chiara on the couch with my guitar case, i then overlaid several photos, all taken in the last couple days, of my buddy valerio, the wall, the clouds, and a letter. lots of burning, dodging, and other stuff... the only "fake" parts are the "photocopy effect" that i used to enhance the vignette on the sides. i used a lot of the techniques that i learned from the dragan effect on youtube as well.

my first expert challenge when i understand a bit about what that really means... i hope i get some good comments!

Many great shots in this challenge but I think this should have done better. I'm more surprised at the low number of comments you received.

Really nicely done and true to the spirit of grunge, should have placed higher, me thinks.

I like the overlay, adds a sense of graffiti. Not liking the halo effect around the girl. But overall fits the challenge well.
