So you've also noticed people look-n-go! well NOT me. I like what you have done, it's as the websites suggests. The cut-out being the difficult bit (I think) could do with some perspective changes, but all-in-all pretty good. Also, a decent description......which helps.

Jade...

I believe this image would be more effective if you would let a little of the brick texture show through.

I like this idea.It entailed a lot more work than simply overlaying an image on to the wall itself.Two criticisms-the leaves look a little isolated and maybe need a drop shadow onto the wall and the light source on the objects is coming in from the right but is coming in from the left on the trees behind.But what do I know...I still like it.
