Christmas present

[Webshock]

I found a great Photoshop tutorial online, I followed it through using an image of my sister and am going to get it printed properly and framed for one of her presents which I thought was a good idea.
Just thought it would be good to show you guys, see what you think or if you have any ideas i could use to improve it.

The quality isn't great in the second image, but you get the idea!

That's a really cool present to get for your sister, I'm sure she'll love it.

I think the beams in the middle going through, would look better if they were faded out abit. Perhaps faded to about 80% or something.

Keep up the great work.
