Bought some old skeleton keys at an antique store, and noticed that one of them had a heart-shaped head... and Valentine's Day was coming up... so I got this idea.
At first, the key itself was red from the light and I really didn't like that. My PSE4 skills were rudimentary, at best, and since I just upgraded to CS3 I figured it was time to jump in and learn something new. I struggled with selections for over 2 hours to get this right. A couple things could be worked out still... for example, I'd still prefer the shadow be better defined (read: sharper), and the key itself could maybe use a little work, but overall I like the way it came out.
C&C is always welcome.
