Playing with layers in Photoshop (Elements)

The following is what Ive produced after my first foray into the wonderful world of digital photo-manipulation. High school was the last time I used photoshop with any intention to create. Up until recently, the most Id ever do with a photo would be to alter the contrast or exposure levels...maybe tinker with some colour correction...Even when I studied photography in college,
I'd spend my time in the lab, burning and dodging under the lamps, instead of getting screenburn infront of computers. Turns out there's alot Ive been missing out on! so Ive been spending quite a bit of time messing around with some old photos to learn some new tricks...I spent about 6hr on average per collage...
