Wish me luck. I am in Fort Lauderdale now and the hurricane is coming. this may be my last Photoshop ever.:-O

Hoops, are you ok? wish you luck, I would miss your chops!!!

I have not voted yet so I don't know who you are yet. But I will. Glad you survived (and will show us more chops)

Yea MM, I am fine. I have been through devastating hurricanes before. This one was a doozy, but I have seen much worse. I have some video I uploaded and will post it after the contest is over since my YouTube account name might give away my identity. Thanks for your concern.

And yea it was a fun chop. Rarely do I envision a chop and it comes out perfectly as I imagined. Well, this one did. Wasn't sure I could do it, but perseverance paid off.

Thanks Still. Those little preview images we get do the Chops no justice. They always look better in hi-res. Well, actually the hi-res can accentuate flaws too haha.

Maaaaaaaaahalooooo!! Was fun to do... mainly cause it worked out when I didn't know i could even do it.. haha.

Here is some cell phone video of the hurricane. I could almost go surfing on the lake. BWR = Big Wave Rider if you didn't know.

Very impressive Surfs up, you're lucky these windows were strong enough to stand the winds!

It does me the same, I thougt it was because I'm in France, because of different time zones, but it is not the reason why if it happens to you also.

Thanks Z. You always have some thing nice to say.

YW George. Thank you man.

Thanks for your comments Olga. This one took approx 3 hours but a lot of that time was spent trying to find source images and then decide what I liked and did not like in the combinations I was playing with. I spend a lot of time just playing around with possibilities and the work just takes on a "life of its own".
If I had all the source images to begin with, it would take less time.
I waste a lot of time in decision making and deleting things which I don't like in the end.

It's always a pleasure sharing with you. I learn a lot from you too.

Thank you Megan.
