My wife and I made this sample image as I plan on including in a package when I do sports work. As this is really our first attempt I know it needs additional work. However I wanted to see what others offer if you want to share idea's and or what you have seen.

Also if you have idea's what would make this better I'm all ears.

I like the second one better.. but I would rather see one large, clear image and several smaller ones around him.

Same here I like the second one, your attention is focus on the larger image in the middle and then you can view the others but they are not completing with the center image.

Yeah, I like the 2nd one too. One thing about the first one is the "McLaughlin" is harder to read - I like the way it's more visible in the 2nd.

Well, I'm a loser, but I like the first one. I would rather see most of the frame filled up with the boy, which the first one does better. I do like the background on the second one though. Maybe you could incorporate it into the first and see if it helps.

I think you'll be OK, they have a thin candy shell. I'm surprised you didn't know that.

First off thanks for all the comments that is exactly what I was hoping to get. I still have a lot to learn about PS CS2. Changing the background is really easy. For the record I liked the second one better myself. I did not like the Blue over his arms on the large picture. Besides I almost think it needs something else to distract away from the places were I cut him out of the orignal image.

I like the second one. The one suggestion I have is switch the two background photos so that the two of them do not look like they are leaving the photo.
