I'm not on here all the time so I miss things for a while so thats my excuse (running after 2 young children does that heh) :)

Good but do you want some advice? (to late :p)

always match your shadows to your incorperated images. The cats need shadow as same as the pillars in the original shots so it pulls into it and also gets rid of the "float" effect.
Now shadows part 2:

Start working on highlighting and shadowing parts of added images so it works with the BG. The light comes from the left and shadow happens on the right so do the same on the added subjects. If they need no highlighting (such as the cats as they are bright already) start adding shadow to the sides of their bodies that need it. Use the pillars in the photo as your refference.
A little added highlight to the fem on where the parts would highlight the most would pull her into it more.

It's a slow process and takes a lot of practice to start learning what will work and what tools in photoshop will give you these effects. In other words trial and error. I use my doge tool a lot when image blending, and also when I use shadows I don't use black but often a dark brown and change the layer properties to give it a transparent effect (can't tell you which mode as different ones work for each image) and the shadow hue seems to fall into place as dark but transparent like a real shadow.

Do yourself the greatest favour and find forums on layers or get a book of PS (or CS, I don't know what version your working on, I work in photoshop CS2)
and read up what it all does and you will know how to handle layers and effects on them to get the best out of your images.

One handy tip I can give you with layers is after adding an image to a layer if it has furry edges, go to up in your top menu bar

Layer (drop list) >Matting > (now here are the options)de-fringe, remove white matte, remove black matte.

These work such as if a pasted image has white edges and you have posted on a dark image you wont wont them, so you hit remove white matte and it takes the white fuzz off. Ditto when you want to remove black hit remove black matte.
De-fringe helps remove any tacky sticky-out furry bits on the edges.

Hope this helps any :)

No worries! :D
I don't mind giving advice if you ever want it but I find some people get so offended when you try to suggest a few things (as had happen in the past with a few :omg: )
But get the info and use it to your advantage because some go the other way and won't tell because they get scared you will get good and it will take a bit of shine off their works (that really burns my ass!)

But have always have fun! (trial and error is that lol) :hug:

I was thinkin' the same thing... about ppl worrying about my skills improving... heh... Great Minds, my Dear... GREAT MINDS!!!! Hehehehe... And, thank you again... I was upset about the shadow thing myself... Believe me, I noticed it... I added shadow to the girl as best I could without really knowing what I was doing... it's the damned PS... It's SO complicated... I'm just used to DRAWING everything!!! Once I get my work scanned... you'll see... I'm a perfectionist with my art, but this new "technology" shizznit.... WHEW!!! Enough to make me go MAD!!!!!!! :slow: HAHAHAHA...
Thanks, Kirsty... Much Love...

Hi Dear! Nice work :heart: Just one thing... you need to add shadows and i think the red cat don´t fits there, because the picture is blue and then it would be better if you use just black or white cats, you know what i mean? But i have the most time problems with the shadows too. The Picture is really beautiful my Queeny, :clap:
