Chained

This is my first try at the photoshop effects. Does this picture make

sense? Any comments/critiques/criticisms will be appreciated? Thanks!

I like the shot and the effect, but the chain just seems to be cut off on either end because of the boarder. Have you tried it with a fine white/grey stroke around the original shot to give you a start/finish point? Again, just a suggestion.. Cheers, Ellen

If I understand correctly you are suggesting that I add a frame. I tried it out and it looks better. In the earlier version I was hoping that the reflections on the cylider would do the job of separating the picture from the frame -- but seems like it doesn't work as well. I am upgrading to V2.0 thanks to you and the older version is below. I wish more people would leave advice/critiques like you do.

My pleasure, and I'm glad you feel I'm giving you some new ideas! All I've ever asked for on this site is for people to actually let me know what they think, rather than just rating - and I will always do likewise! Looking forward to seeing more of your work! Cheers, Ellen
