Experimenting with Photoshop

So, as much as I love all natural photos I became more curious about photoshop. I mean, I didn't buy it to just crop my photos. :)

For this photo I found a black backdrop and of course Brian refused to be my subject matter. Also, Ralph and Melvin (my cats) weren't cooperating so this is one I had to do on my own. Set my camera on my suitcase and set the 10 second timer. Loaded this picture and watched several YouTube video's (for several hours) to come up with this. Please note, I'm not trying to be a model....HAHAHA!
