Actually had a moment to make something new. Trying out a few things. Not sure if it's good. Not sure if I even like it. Who knows. All Me. v1 v2
Try using the burn tool on the sides that way it will get more depth Give it more contrast and a little bit less lighting To get a clear focal Overall I will go with Version 1 -Van
Definitely agree with Vanquish. I'd suggest making the transition from dark to light less abrupt, though, maybe a little fade with a smudge or even just the blur/burn tools. I'm not sure.
Thanks guys. I made this in about 30 minutes. I'll work on it more tomorrow after I get home from work. Maybe Sunday.
