Angels Amoung Us

2nd shot from the series. Photoshop alteration and DreamSuite final

"Fuzzy" look. This was a request per my wife who had a specific look

in mind. She was happy and in this case, she's teh client. Hope

someone else likes it. Thoughts and comments appreciated.

Wow what a lovely soft focus effect. Well done!

Love the fuzzy focus which works wonderfully with the wings, great light, apt title. Nice work! Regards, J

Thanks Christopher and J. It was a look we intentionally were going for when we set out and I'm glad you like it. She was a great little model. I wish I could say the same for her little brother who didn't quite cooperate. :-)

You nailed your intended result. Nice work!

Thanks Ken. really appreciate the ttime to comment and rating. Good seeing you around these parts. :-)

Joe, I certainly do like this. Nice treatment. FWIW, I'm pretty sure you can get the effect in PS with a layer of Gaussian blur, reduce opacity as desired, and selectively erase to reveal sharpness if need be. Just a thought. ^_^

Thanks for the info Wilson. I have used Gausian blur in Photoshop quite a bit. However, for creating the soft glow look, I have become a lot fonder of the other package. It's a LOT more simple to create this look. As you may notice (MUCH easier to tell in the larger printed version) the image is actually sharp in every area that you look at. I think it basically creates a ghost image that is blurred but leaves the main image unchanged and then blends the two. I don't know. I do prefer it over teh gausian though.

 

Thanks again,

Joe
