This was just a flash of inspiration that I tried to put together. I had the picture of my friend walking and looking over his shoulder and it came to me that it would be very cool if I could put a freaky looking guy behind him. So I did ;-). The hooded man is supposed to represent a personal demon. Cause they are always right behind us, waiting for us to turn around.

This was an experiment for me since I'm rather new at blending together multiple photos. I had the picture of the hooded guy from awhile ago so I don't really remember what I did to it then.

As for the post processing on this photo it was rather simple...

-Made it black and white
-Whited out the background and area inbetween the posts to make it look like the world just slowly ended
-Whited out anything around the hooded guy
-Pasted it as a new layer atop my friend and positioned it correctly
-Dropped the opacity to 41%
-Used the eraser tool to get rid of the parts that overlapped my friend.

Any tips or criticism is most welcome.
