Wow, thanks everyone. Jean, I got the explosion from www.sxc.hu (http://www.sxc.hu) Its a stock photo site with some free images and some pay ones, this is a free one. This is probably the hardest thing I have done so far. The selecting of the car was difficult and took forever. The backgrund was a gravel driveway and trees and bushes. Hard to see from the small size in the gallery but I haven't yet removed the bushes from the back window. Going to work on that today, I don't want to lose my father in law sitting in the car or the glass reflection. I want to try to make him show a little better too.

Thanks so much for the compliments.

Anyone who missed the thread with Bob's tut, it is here (http://www.photoshopelementsuser.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26164&page=4). scroll down to post #34.

Ok, I give up. Anyone have any ideas on how to keep the reflection and get rid of the green in the windows or do you think it will be ok the way it is?

[AngelicKim]

Well, I guess I taught myself a lesson in not giving up. I got it or at least good enough.

Kim: Thanks for that website - there were many choices. I have posted my attempt at the explosion on the other thread. That was a long job. Jean

Jean, glad you found something there. I am off to see yours.
