Nice idea. The engraving is sharper than the rest of the image, and has light from top left, whereas the background has light from directly above. Maybe add some noise to the coat of arms to look more like the weathered stone?

I admire your hard work, but I'd like this more if your engraving were worn down as much as the plaque under it... just my preference....

I'm presuming U did not click big Mango, as the engraving if anything is not as sharp as the background, yet this size looks the reverse. Also the added light source is all from above, the depth of the engraving may be throwing U on that.

It's the bevel and emboss, that adds the white highlights. That is what makes it look too smooth. Delete the highlights in the bevel and emboss and add your own. keep them rough.

I did not use bevel & emboss Rey, I will have a look at it when I get chance later, but the engraving is made up of 8 layers of line work, selections & overlays. I never use auto bevel emboss, its a little bit to generic and uncontrollable for my liking

...and in turn from that as you say, add your own highlights, they are my own.

cos I love you so Rey, I have chewed at the stone to give it a little bit of weathering for you ;o) seriously though cheers for the point, but kaaa tooey (spits) at suggestion I used bevel/emboss. (goes to be sick at the thought) lol :oP
