Some of your best stuff yet!

I was looking at macro's entry and looking at how brilliant it looked before I even came back to the forum here and noticed a suggestion to see it. Thats the level I want to achieve with photoshop. I have been experimenting heavily with the lighting effects filters and feathering my selections to get my imported pieces to fit better. I'm still learning here. The best thing I can do is experiment. Thanks for the suggestions and positive input. I have a question for everyone...is photoshop a part of your everyday professional life or is it just a hobby of yours? I'm just wondering how many people here actually do chops for a living vs. just doing chops for fun. I fall in the category of fun.. as if you couldn't guess.
