Okay, this is one of those occassions that anybody's critique won't matter to me: I'm freakin' LOVE how I edited this XD

... I still welcome critique with open arms. Just know that you'll have to be unusually cruel and harsh to burst my bubble on this one.

I was getting increasingly frusterated on editing this particular picture. The two looked fantastic in recreating the movie's poster, but I didn't like the background. Nor did I want to completely add another background, because I had nothing else to put it on.

I rarely use the filter tools on photoshop because I sometimes see them as an easy way out in editing. But I messed around with the blurring and liked how it looked... except that it blurred the two cosplayers. So I cut them out of one layer and blured the back, and ended up created the exact effect I had on my mind.

I was also able to tamper with the background color without affecting the color tone on Cloud and Sephiroth, which overjoyed me.

Yeah I'm absurdly proud over this. Leave me alone, I know I'm such a dork xD

Sephiroth cosplayer: unknown.
Cloud cosplayer:

Taken, and edited, by me at Anime Los Angeles 2009, on Adobe Photoshop 7.0.
