i don't get it... the only thing you did was that yellow aura and add two letters to the name.. why so many layers? and so much work? this could be done with a simple brush stroke with some gaussian blur in under 2 minutes.

While I can see what elficho means.. after reading your SBS this would make a WONDER tutorial on how the mask out giant objects.. You'd just have to add more steps and longer descriptions..after reading the SBS I can see the work you put into this very clearly and I commend you (like a said, this would make a great TUT for peeps wanting to know how to remove large detailed objects.. ) GOOD LUCK

elficheo - yes you are right but the effect wouldnt have the same clarity. GolemAura - thanks for your suggestion - The challange this time for me was to do the complex cutting out. Someone else manage what I was planning and I didnt want to appear to be copying ideas.

A lot of work for not much result...the glowing aura would be reflected in the water...

awesome idea but maybe you should have done a different color so it isn't so bright
