A photo manipulation tutorial.

Last year, I created an image for a brief - supposed to show a monumental moment in your life.

The reason behind my design was that karate practically IS my life outside of work, friends and Uni.

I edited my photo in this way to show the 'Action' of the shot. Most times during competition, there are photo companies who come and photograph you during your matches, I buy them as mementos of the day. So when I look back, I can remember vividly the emotion I felt during that moment.

I have posted below the computer arts tutorial I followed and hopefully it'll be of some use to you all :)
