The effect on the kids makes it look like an animated film.

ok, any reckos on how to better incorporate them? I could drop the opacity of the glowing edges layer...? :chin:

oh, and I don't think you've ever commented on my work before - I must be doing something right, right??

The image improvement PSD you made up, a fair while ago, already has gradients and curves adjustments etc in it, you just load your cut out and viloa, IMPROVED IMAGE...you can adjust the curves, gradients, overlays etc however you want, and then after save it as a png and use exposure to give subtle lighting on your subject.

Ok, time for the Real Beach version

Added the girls in the background, on the new beach. How does this composition work?

That's the background pic m8

i think you need to go back and start again with Clooney - i love the idea but i think the effects are a little overdone - definitely too much light and contrast on his left side... the hair looks superb btw
