 Ok where do I begin… First, I read the rules… then I read the rules again. Took the pictures picked the one I liked best then came the hard part. I used photoshop for depth of field, then changed to grayscale. Read the rules again. Deleted the stuff from inside my hand, pasted another picture of the kids behind the original layer. Cropped that picture to fit into my hand. Selected the blank information inside my hand and put the picture of the kids in that shape. Pasted as a new layer, then did outer and inner glows. Saved posted… Hope you like and I don’t get DQ’d.

A very nice effect and one that would be greatly enhanced by giving the sweethearts a neutral background such as light gray or black to give the impression of matching the dark background. You get points for the idea and the composition. Bumping up.

I like this, inspired idea, good hand positions. On the editing for some reason the red just around the outside doesnt do it for me, it looks half finished, i might have done a little more editing to take out the b/g of the house, maybe a whiteish glow from the b/g blending into, like its shining out of your hands.
