Re: Motorbike image
Nice sense of movement, Ryan. I'm not sure if I would have made the main picture colour to contrast with the blue toned backdrop and make it stand out more to give it a sense that it's racing out of the frame at you - But black & white might have worked better for you, what do you think? _________________ mad as a badger and twice as furry |

Re: Motorbike image
A simple ground reflection is created by duplicating the image being reflected to a new layer. Flip the copy layer image vertically then create a blank layer mask to which a black to white Gradient fill is applied. _________________ mad as a badger and twice as furry |

Thats how I do my reflections African
Thanks for the feedback Becky. I agree that the design need some colour to contrast in the design, I did not want to use the original colours as they are green and yellow. I think orange is the best contrast with blue so I painted in a few parts on the rider. Ryan  |

Now that really does stand out, in my opinion, giving it even more depth. Extremely well implimented. _________________ mad as a badger and twice as furry |

Thanks Becky. I think the orange on the motorbike adds the contrast that the image needed, thanks for the suggestion. Ryan |

Re: Motorbike image
Ryan I don't want to be teaching an old dog new tricks or anything like that but - do you know why orange is such a contrast to blue? If you do fine, if not let me know and I'll tell ya cheers Glen _________________ most of the lack of sunshine in our lives is caused by us standing in our own shadow |

Hi Glen, I guess it because they are opposite each other on the colour wheel? Ryan |

Re: Motorbike image
You got it, always a good one to use to create a stop em dead statement in a design - bit hard on the eyes tho at times _________________ most of the lack of sunshine in our lives is caused by us standing in our own shadow |
