 Self portrait.

Layered with additional image of fallen dead leaves (using semi-transparent brush).

EDIT: Took the advice of several commenters and re-edited it so that the leaves covered more of the entire image.

Very Nice effect! Looks a lot like a book cover or album image.

Hi Jimmy

I have come back to the update a few times, I am not too sure about the texture covering the whole area of your head and neck, How would it look with it just bleeding into your hair (basically fading as it crosses the line between background and your hair - does that make sense?)

Hi Jimmy!
I loved the new bio pic. The pic of your folks is so lovely. Captures the spirit of their marriage perfectly. Did seem a tad harsh on the lighting, but I think the essence of it is perfect!. Greeley, Caledonia and Simon Daedalus send greetings and LOL. MMM

What a hottie!!

oops, got so caught up in how hot you look I forgot to make a comment on the photo. LOL.

I like the leaves encroaching your shirt. I'm not real sure I like it in your hair though. This really is a good technique overall and I'm sure you will master it soon. It is something new and interesting that we haven't been over saturated with here at dpc, so I am enjoying your new technique.

Hey did you change your hair color LOL? I like this shot and the texture as well but it may be a tad too strong? Would like to see it toned down a bit and maybe encroaching a bit into your hair.

I like this effect as well. The leaves should cover the whole image though. Maybe lighter on the hair but it would even it out a bit for me. Nice stuff!

I like your colors, the texture of the hair and the different textures of the leaves, i really like the leaves on the neck. What I dont like: the hair looses some of its texture because of the mask, could you lessen it just on the hair? and the darker halo around his, i mean your head.

This one is great although a part of me would like to see the leaves actually super-imposed on your hair and face. Let's see how that works out.

Very nice, I really like all the textures but the hues are very neutral. Maybe if the face was angled a bit more into the camera just a tad or cropped from the right so the head is coming into the picture. Very nice layers, is this from photoshop?
