Photoshop practice

This is the first time I have used photoshop and this is what i have managed to produce. I have picked out a image of an artist and placed it on photoshop. I have learned how to blur the edge of the image using the paint brush and also how to add text and change the font and the size of it. This experience has helped me gain more experience with photoshop and have a clear understand it of it for when I'll have to use it in the future.
