Description I seen loadsa stuff like this in Skate mags and always wanted to try it!
Its a little rough on the edges and it would be better from another angle but I'm happy with my 1st attempt!
I'll definitely hook up with Kev again and do some more of these!
Comments would be appreciated

it might look better if you put the camera on a tripod took the three pictures and thenput them one on top of the other know what i mean?
if you could get them to match up it would take care of the shadows and the rough edges. probably a lot harder to do. i wouldn't know.
like the pic though

Yeah, I'm just gonna reshoot this again from the side. It will make it easier to show the sequence aswell!

yeah, daw's tip on the dodge tool is good. dodge and burn, dodge and burn!

seriously though dude, for a first attempt, this is bloody amazing work. you've really proven your worth here anyway, it's going straight into my bundle! the look of concentration on Keogh's face, deadly. was actually talking to another chap from DA, = sean723 , who by chance happened to ask if I know a Kev from Kilkenny, turned out to be Kevin Keogh (sean's a skater as well) but damn dude... this is good. a little work around kev's back, get it blending in but you've done real well on this one. i often see that lads skating there and never stop to take pics and stuff. defo a reminder of the Unity days!

Fair Play Dude.....it reminds me of Unity!

Oh it was a long time ago.

You could also try darken the edges to blend the kev grinding more into the photograph.
Did you use the dodge tool?

Wow man. Great idea and a very commendable first attempt I must say! It is a little rough on the edges like you say, but that's only really visable on full view. Perhaps resizing the full image? Also, the shadows under Kevs feet in the second picture of him are missing, so maybe if they were left in it would add to the realism of it.

Great work though Ross....fair play! Keep 'em comin'

Cheers dude!
The problem is my mouse is crap and it's very hard to control so some of it just wouldn't work for me!
Dammit, I keep forget to resize the pics so they're all too big!
I'll put it on my to do list!
Here's some cake! and an anal probe for ya!
