What's the original look like? I don't really like the way it cuts to the brick wall on the right, it's a very rough transition.
I really don't get it. It's not at all like you're other stuff in quality. What's up with the intervening brick wall with shitty white circles?
A photo manip is when you take many parts from many different stocks, and put them together with a minimum of effects. I didn't realize how bad the "smoke" looked until this morning. I know it does, that's the biggest problem imo. Remember, I did this at one in the morning, after coming down of a graphic spree and night out. It's kinda funny imo lol
