Here's my second version of a "Tribute to Kitsch" photo. I edited this version to give it a "darker" feel and I applied my first overlay attempt ever (I found a tutorial on overlaying on the EPZ site and thought that I would give it a whirl). Anyway, I hope you like it, and this time I am remembering to click the "mod allowed" button since both Martin and Paul made an excellent mod of my last image.

Colour desaturated, Noise Added, Contrast bumped up

Like the pose, de-saturation etc, did like the background until I saw mod 2 then when I went back it looked all wrong! Geoff

Lovely shot V1 for me

I like the grainy process and the eye contact, very beautiful, prefer V1, it tells more of a story!

Version 1 for me like the tone and grains of your image with the add background. Good work.

Thanks all! I am leaning towards version 1, but I am wondering if it's because it's my first overlay attempt and I am excited about it. Sometimes when I learn something new in PS, I really like the effect to begin with, then over time I learn a better technique to apply and I become not so fond of my initial edit. We'll see how I feel about version 1 in a month or two!

Your pose and the shape you have made is very nice and the drape is placed well over you. You have done the overlay well. But I don't think it fits the image, the scale is off for me. But good image. I prefer the plain background.

Thanks again all for the comments and votes.

Thank you kiddsta for the b&w mod. Well done, I really like it!

Regarding Freybird and Hoffy's comments on the overlay, I agree that something isn't quite right about it. Maybe it's the angle of the gate? Should be less tilt to it perhaps? That's what I am thinking.
