For the puzzle piece cutout, I used photo-shops Layer Style, Bevel, then created a new empty layer, linked the empty layer with the puzzle piece layer and merged linked layers to turn off or lock the layer style. Then I used the rotate and again the distort to line it up between my fingers. Applied the same shadow technique for the puzzle too. I've included the original file below if anyone wants a peek.

Ok, this is hard to put into type, but if you're a car guy and you see a nice clean Mercedes or something that's like a glossy black and you say, "That's niiiiiiccce," that's kinda what I'm thinking right now. Great job!

It might just be the Meds... Thank you very much, I sure don't feel creative sometimes, but usually just tinker around in photoshop to relax. Sometimes I kind of see something starting and run with it. But it always feels really good when I get nice comments like your. Thanks Again. Brian

This is the first time I come across this photo and it's AWESOME! I've been staring at it for some time and everything is just perfect right down to the gap of the puzzle showing in the shadow of the subject! This is creative beyond words! Love the title also! Would be a great photo for a magazine article about relationship break-ups :o)

Grin... Thanks Susana, Funny you say that, but a Polish Digital Photo magazine contacted me about featuring it in a full page display, with write-up on how I created it and my Bio. I was hoping they might offer to pay me, but they offered 12 months free subscription and a couple copies of the one they printed. Alas, they starving artist continues to starve, but now has a new incentive to learn how to read the polish language. :)
