Another afternoon to myself and a real cigar this time. I'm pretty happy that I seem to be nailing the lighting and focus now. I was going for a gritty, grungy effect.

The biggest thing I don't like here is the funny effect around my shoulder line and ears in photo 2. There just didn't seem to be a way to achieve the effect I wanted without them looking weird with that double-line effect. It looks a bit cut-out. I was thinking of just using a burn tool or a black airbrush to cover it up. Can anyone suggest an easy fix?

Anyway, here they are. Constructive C&C welcome!

If you can post an image pre-blur of the second shot, I can walk you through a way to avoid that.

I fixed it with the smudge tool. How would you have done it mate?
