I have been practicing with small images and had an idea. In the past I have made a few avatars that some members liked and kind of adopted. I am thinking of offering to make avatars for others. Members, just tell me what it is you like and I'll give it a go. it's good practice for me so if your looking for a certain avatar let me know ;)
Here is my first for the thread. Hopefully this upload problem I have been having lately does not kickin ;)

Here is one for you though which someone with a certain PB might try to hi-jack :p

A pretty awesome magazine that I subscribe to is called LAYERS formerly Mac Design. If you have the whole Suite then this may be a good buy for you. They have new tutorials every issue for all of the Adobe programs. You can also go to:

www.layersmagazine.com/

It has tutorials on there too which are free. The magazine is 19.95 per year or something like that and it is bi-monthly.

glad i didnt give you and easy challenge anyway.

Just had a though though, cant you use the wand tool to get the shape and then set it as a custom crop shape then find a union jack pick then voila?
