Hi Gang...
Thsi is my first real photoshoped (cs2)image. I really have no clue what I am doing...layers, masks, yikes!!! I was hoping someone might be able to tell me how to make the transition from the guitar to the black a little smoother. All help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ed

Crop tighter. Get rid of brand name then the image work on a abstract level. Nice lighting.

there is a visible edge on guitar so vhen you make a selection, there is an option fearher and play with that setup like 5-20 radius and then hit delete...feather will delete selection with a smoother transition...

Remove the lens flare. It detracts from the head IMO. Put new strings on too ;)

Good Eye...these strings are ready to go. Thanks all for the help, I am off to put the suggestions to use.
Happy Holidays

I like it, other than the flare. It would be okay if it didn't look PP'd in.
