Photoshop final

Last Wednesday I had my Photoshop final. Our assignment was to take a self portrait and insert ourselves into a photo of a place you have always wanted to go to. I have always wanted to hang out with a world leader so this is what I came up with.
I was pretty happy with the results but the lighting was very different in my living room so that was off. I tried to dodge and burn it to match the color of the room. I hope I got an A.
I also made a floating head of me for Betsy's phone from our trip to mexico last year.


She liked this shot better.

I love working with photoshop and have learned much from this class. Community college rocks!
I do wish I had one of these to help me make selections though...

That's awesome. If the whole biologist thing doesn't pan out, you could hit up a tabloid...

The top picture is excellent.

"Hey, Presidents, I'm just gonna chill here on the couch."

i wish i knew how to do that. i'd photograph myself all over the place, so i wouldn't have to actually visit. it'd be much better for my bank account.
