This is my first attempt for the grange-like photo. Spent 6 hours on computer, learned a lot. Let see if it was worth it.

wonderful texture in the dreadlocks. don't know what the background is, but i like it. the only part i'm not incredibly fond of is the "32" on the shirt. it's a little distracting. but overall i really like this. nice job.

interesting choice of backgroung, I like the lighting though. the white around the 32 seems to be pushed a little to far. the texture in his hair is great though.

Nice added background. Make sure you make a good selection so we don't see the outlines (top of his head).

I like the hair but I don't like the way you merged your layers.....area in top right is overlapping the hair.
