After the wedding...original

Lovely shot, Jackie. You use OOF well to isolate the girl. Was that done in PS? I ask that because some of the OOF area seems to be in the same plane as the subject.

Robert, I did do some blur in the backgroud as the original background of trees was too distracting to my eye. I added just a bit of gaussin blur in Paint Shop (am still learning Photo Shop)leaving her and the rail she is leaning on in focus. Some one suggested that the arm on the left was also distracting so I cropped the pic just past the arm. I think it def. makes for a nicer portrait tho I also like think this one as it tells a bit of a story. Thanks so much for your comments. Jackie

Great job, to die for. The blur to focus attention on the model works well. Her lacy dress and that smile - wow! Did you give her parents a copy? They're very lucky to know you!
