So now I know what the layers are and what can they be used for, thought I could have some fun with them then 
Used several pictures in this one, taken with various cameras, everything put together in CS2. Hope you like it.
Once again thank you so much for taking your time and for all your support, much appreciated.

Superb Milla. Very creative. I have a slight preference for the framing of V2, but I find that V1 is better for the proportions.
Lucy
V1 is good V2 has a bit more edge for me, like this..
Colin
Not bad for a first attempt 
V1 for me as the BW looks "cleaner" somehow.
The figure to me does'nt quite fit in the scene and has a slightly pasted-on look. Think carefully about shadows ... paint them in on a separate layer with a soft low-opacity brush and change leyer blend mode and/or opacity to suit. Also think about painting on some shading on the main character to give a more 3D effect. You can do this on a layer above the figure and again vary opacity and blend mode to suit.
Looking forward to seeing more of this type of work though ....
Thank you people, as always appreciate your comments, and especially the advises.
Yes, I'm really starting to love the infinite possibilities the layers seem to give
Indeed, I didn't manage to fit myself into the scenery well, now I know how to improve it though, thanks Dave.
....fantastic piece of work!... well done!.. but you should get onto your Council!.... thought the roads round my way were bad!?!....
Fantastic mono image.A very Gothic style which I love.
Tom.
Thank you for taking the time out to view my portfolio.
Tom.
Yay, cheers again everyone, so glad you liked it, very motivating
Following Dave's advise I've been working a bit on fitting the figure better into the scene, painting the shadows didn't work too well the way I've done it lol, I've made it up by dodging/blurring/adding the mist around though and must admit it looks far better to me now. Will upload the final versions as soon as I'm entirely happy with them.
