    Hi Homer,

    Great capture.

    I hope those are hair grips in Travis's mouth and he's not about to take a bite out of Trinity

    Cheers, Dave

    Her eyes sez it all !

    Such that, even with only the hands of Nephew Travis showing,
    you'd know what it's all about.

    Nice capture, Homer. But where did Travis' body go?

    The background was not ideal and I trashed it and put in a gradient. Travis' body was indistinguishable from the dark background, so I just let the gradient fill it in. It's a bit of a cheat but I think it works OK.

    Homer - this is a great shot, but the "fake" background really does look fake and takes away from the overall image.

    Greg's comment about Travis's missing body is totally valid, and while what you have written might have been correct in the original, it sticks out with your new backg round as it shouldn't be missing with the lighting that is suggested with the background. I wonder if the image might not have been more successful had you dodged the original background and had preserved the way the light actually fell in the original shot.
