Matthew, lovely tattoo!

About reflections.
Kez, you're right, it was not mentioned as allowed. Shadows are though, and I see reflections as (sort of) shadows. The backgrounds are plain enough, if rather shiny/reflective. I personally see nothing wrong with it. (Would be a very narrow contest otherwise!)
Hope you haven't opened the proverbial can of worms!

Hi wodm, glad you like it.
I'm using Elements. I took a copy of the main text and rastarised it (i.e. converted it to an image rather than text). You do this by right-clicking on the layer and choosing 'simplify layer'. I then used Free Transform, distort and perspective to get the shape I wanted. Then I threw in a heavy dose of guassian blur and dropped the layer transparency to about 30% ensuring it was stacked behind the main text. And that's it. cu.

Very low number of entries; did you make it too difficult Mark? Too simple?
Or is everyone still editing?

Off to town now to see if I can shoot someone/something and do some shopping on the way. By the time I get back, the poll will be up and running, I expect.

Now that I have rejoined the competition, the poll will be of extra interest again.

Good luck to everyone!

Prob too restricting, I still I hope we have all come away with learning a little: Like how to use Text how to make three coins look interesting and how to use your imagination.
