Hi.. new guy to the forums here... (been lurking for a bit but...)
I am just wondering peoples reactions to this. I used Photoshop (PS) to add the border and to crop it but the colors are natural. Would people assume its all PS'd?

Constructive criticism very welcome

I like the colors, not on the border though. I would think a thinner black border would do the trick. But it's a very nice shot.

First-- Don't get wrapped up in what people think happened... You know whether it was like that or not, and regardless of whether it was, you got a sweet shot. I think the end result is more important, and being a child of the digital age, reality vs. fabrication doesn't make that much difference to me. If you were to tell me that was done in PS with multiple exposure, I'd probably not be too quick to raise an eyebrow, but other that I think the shot looks quite natural.

Thanks for the replies.

Tayuyphotoart...I agree with your statment of the end result being the most important.

johanmw, thanks for the advise on the border. I always am experimenting with them. I just have a bit of a pet peeve with ordinary black borders. They may very well work the best in this case and with many pictures....I just feel that I want to use PS more to create a more creative border.....but I'm just as happy to have them with no border.
