Welcome to pxleyes Author!

This is an awesome shot and I really like the processing that you've done here unfortunately on this site the use of the layer mask isn't allowed in the photo contests.

Here are the rules so you know what is and isn't allowed

I would suggest changing your entry before it gets removed, if you'd like to do so go to:

My Stuff > My contest entries > Edit photo

But as I said before this is great, and I look forward to seeing more of your work on here!

Very moody and well done photo, however, as Locks has pointed out, the techniques you used for this entry are not allowed in photo contests here...

Thanks guys, really nice to hear that. I've deleted all the layers that used masks - the only layers now are adjustment layers (brightness and saturation) that apply to the whole image...

Top photo, well done!

And welcome to the wonderful world of Pxl

great shot, not easy to make trash look interesting. Welcome to the site.

Thanks very much for the welcome and the compliments! Very much appreciated!

Wow very interesting and it has such great depth in this photo...I Love it!

Nice shot! GL!

Hrmmmm... is this literal trash here, or a metaphor for English football?

(j/k - welcome to the site)

Your magnificent shot made me think of a famous quotation - "After me the deluge"...
