Thanks for the invitation! I look forward to that, driving along the steppes of Mongolia singing silly songs with hitchikers, drinking vodka with the locals... sounds very promising

Congratulations nice job.

"Please don't be shy to tell me how to improve in photo manipulation work as I'm fairly new to it. Thanks again. "

There is a site called Udemy that does online courses. They are offering a Photoshop course called "Mastering Photoshop CC 2017: Learn like a Pro" for FREE!!! It's a 20 hour course and retails for $200 (yea right).

https://www.udemy.com/adobe-photoshop-cc-for-beginners-online/?couponCode=NIEL2017&siteID=TnL5HPStwNw-TGk4oxkI3E3siprLVMNDeA&LSNPUBID=TnL5HPStwNw

If you ever need any help, feel free to PM me. I am always eager to talk Photoshop so don't be shy. I will try to critique your Chops from now on and maybe it will help.

Google Video Search and Youtube are chock full of video tutorials from beginner to advanced. Even Googling some variant of "Photoshop Tutorial" into Google Images can work. You get to see the image of what the tutorial is about, and pick one that suits your needs. You can Google things like "Scary Photoshop Tutorial", "How to do Shadows in Photoshop Tutorial" or w/e. The other day I didn't know how to make stars, so I Googled "How to Make Stars in Photoshop Tutorial" and now I am a master haha.

***MODS*** please note that I am in no way affiliated with Udemy, nor to the best of my knowledge is this an affiliate link as I got it from Google. If this is against the rules to post links like this, feel free to delete that from this post.

Congrats

Congrats Olga! Wish I can go there some day.

No idea. From its eye and head it looks like a locust.

It may very well be an undiscovered specie, and if so, we'll just have to name it "Acrididae Pxleyenisis"

But my best guess is it is a garden variety after a feeding frenzy on weeds saturated with insecticide.

Don't sell yourself short still26.

YW seestah. Where was that photo taken?

Congrats Olga, well done

Congratulations, great photo

Congrats still26.

Bad tail day?

You devil you.....

yor welcome

Think this would have been a really nice photo without the post work,you get a real warm feeling about this,but the post work has raised it to another level.

Extra points for using your own photograph.
Like my friend George said, the water color effect is working for me.

I like the watercolor effect you got in your entry. Good luck.

Really nice one this

The video in your SBS silly. :-O

Like father, like son

Another fine moment caught

Well done still for winning and yes your very trying lol

Don't like weddings but love your photos, even with pigeon craps

Cute, cute, cute. Congrats!

Congrats Still, still so creative.

Congrats, well done

Congrats ! Well deserved

What a nice photo this is,a slice of Asian culture

Let's see, I think it starts with Thai... and it ends up by land

The cargo ship in the background harms a bit to the romanticism of the image :/

I like your version better than the one in the video.

Still, I agree with Brian, this photo is breathtaking. Unfortunately, it seems that filtered photos often get low votes... Maybe you would have been more lucky in this week's free Photoshop contest!

I missed this one earlier,and can,t believe it did not finish higher,amazing photo this

great !!

Well done still for winning

Funny shot!

Congrats Still!

Congrats Still!

Congratulations on 1st place. Lovely photo, like a chocolate box.

Congrats, well done

Thank you

Umm... it's still there.

Thank you, please remove the source link, it does not work.

Author, is the photo in your sbs your own photo? If it is you must state that it is.

When Soba met Kung I bet they didn't expect how they would end...

Yuck! What they are ugly.... and discolored hair does not suit them at all :-P

Great close-up in this and such superb detail

Nicely observe and taken photo this,interesting

good strong image this and b/w gives it more power
