[QUOTE="hark, post: 226977, member: 13196"] Background clutter...if you have PSE 10-12 or the full version of Photoshop, you should be able to outline them with the [I]Quick Selection Tool[/I] then select [I]inverse[/I] which will create the running ants around the background. One of the filters is for [I]Blur[/I], and one of the options from there is [I]Gaussian Blur[/I]. Select it then play around with the amount of blur you want to create. It will allow the background to appear as a much more shallow depth of field than it is right now. ;) And if you want to take it one step further, add a vignette and narrow the center. That should help hide his arm from appearing to be a little to close to the camera. [/QUOTE]
