Thanks madiosi, a very appropriate arena backdrop.

madiosi, you've done it again! Another deeply enhancing background. Thank you.
In this background, you've cleverly included several strengthening elements. E.g. the sympathetic women being kept away from comforting (?) the victims; the soldier riding back along the dirt road, perhaps to inform his superiors that a position or two on this particular cross would soon be vacant for further crucifixions to be carried out. The drop shadows present in your 2 backdrop depictions (I missed them in your first objet d'art) adds a further realism that so enhances the basic manipulation I managed.
A technical question about your use of drop shadowing of the cross and victims itself, the restraining soldier, the trees lining the road etc.
I use Photoshop Elements 8 selecting the 'Layer/Layer Style/Style Settings/Drop Shadow' sub menu to achieve similar (albeit very comparatively inferior) shadow effects. I must say that your drop shadowing is most effective. Do you use a similar technique, perhaps?

In my reply to madiosi, I postulate that he may be riding back to his superiors in the distant city to inform them of an impending vacancy or two on that particular cross. Thus another 1 or 2 crucifixion candidates could be made to stagger out to the site of execution and, after nailing and raising, filling the vacancy/s on that cross. What do you think?Yes, but why is the chap on the horse riding away?
I use two methods for shadows. The first is similar the layer drop shadow, it think. This shadow layer I can distort. Erase zones or add other is easy on this way.
Sometimes, and in the last collage also, I use the filter collection from EyeCandy7. He have the filter shadow. But it is often not so optimal, because this shadow is not a extra layer. He is fix together save with the shape.

He brought the report over the execution to the governor.Yes, but why is the chap on the horse riding away?
Sigh. Sometimes duty sucks. No wonder he's galloping so fast!

Wednesday, January 24, 2018 Day 24: You’ve patiently traveled down memory lane with me over the last few days. Here’s a brand new image that I finished yesterday. I call it "Guilty Blond Girl" (but, hey, aren’t they ALL guilty?) I’ll let you decide what she’s guilty of. It looks to me like she had a rough walk to the site and felt the kiss of the whip repeatedly. She’s only been nailed there a short time, however. Her pale skin will soon turn a bright red from the sun’s powerful rays. I don’t think she’ll last long...

She'll get over it... maybe.
With enough time, they all do.
