Need to dust off...

[1stbite]

Been a while since i last ventured into the arena, and its definatly been a while since i last hammered photoshop, so i'm looking for someone to help me dust off the cobwebs from my digital manipulation skills

one on one
canvas: 800x600 (link via taster image)
rotation: allowed
returns: negotiable maybe 7 days?
rounds: 3 volleys each (not including serve image)
theme: none, but try to keep a link from previous image
visible portion of previous volley must be clearly visible in returning volley
keep filters to a minimum (if any)
challenger to volley first

Stock image (my own)

No disrespect, but I think you might have missed his comments about filter usage in his original post... your image, while a valid composition, is a bit heavy on the filter usage side.

Anyway, can't wait to see what you guys produce...

Whoops, didn't see that part. If its alright with him I guess we can keep it, or I can redo it if he wants.

Been 7 days... give it another 24 hours then i'll consider no reply means battle finished.
