[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 332766, member: 9240"] Before seeing the second I was going to ask, "Why the blur?" Then I saw the second and thought, oh, that's why. For me, the best shot is between the two - or actually a combination of them. Blur filters will obscure the details, and I like the definition of stitching. Take the clean shot and add it as a layer above the blur shot and then use the opacity slider to add in somewhere between 20-33% of the clean image. You still get the blur effect but it's far more subtle, and different than what you'd get if you just [I]blurred less. [/I] You could also play with burning in the shadows in the area where the person "was" to give a feel that [I]something[/I] is there.Sort of like this?
