Thanks Mike. Was it just the blown highlights that were bothering you, or were you looking for creative ideas with the picture? Personally, I think it's a great picture as is. _________________
Yeh sorry Keith, didn't make it very clear in my first post
Have to say though do you think it would be worth removing the people from the background? _________________

Nor you should mate, it's good to just see what comes up, so spare your tender noggin.

I ummed and arred about that. It's a very natural shot and I am even prepared to forgive the bloke on the right for not paying attention. I can't feel any creative juices flowing around changing the background, no ideas at all, which in my world usually means leave it alone. Well, not strictly true, I am tempted to remove said bloke, but that'd be a HUGE challenge. _________________

No worries, it was quite a challenge to create a backdrop that worked with the couple, that backdrop is a pastiche of a couple of pictures cobbled together to get something I liked. Any way, if you want the full sized picture, it's here. Cheers.

I was going to comment on the very nice job on the background. If I hadn't seen the original, I would never have suspected it was added in later.
Well deserved praise. I can be exceptionally critical of photoshop manipulations, especially those that are heavy handed (and I can be as guilty as any of producing those ).
I've looked very closely at your handiwork and it's top shelf!
I can almost always spot the halo of sharpening or the artifacts from selections.
Dodging, smudging, burning, cloning, etc. usually leave tell-tale signs too.
I have to admit, I don't really see any significant indications of those in your image. You have truly earned your moniker, Photochop Guru! _________________ see my photography at john.seelbinder.org
Thanks again John. It's a funny old thing, the innate (?) insecurity around ones work. I was recently approached by someone who wanted a whole series of chops done for an exhibition. I wrote to him and sent a sample of work, and never heard from him again. The committee in my head ran with, 'I am crap and he hated my work and who do I think I am anyway'. Later, having thought about it a bit, no reply just isn't my problem. I have no idea why he hasn't got in touch, and any or all the scenarios I run in my head are not reality. But When the elastic goes in my security and I suddenly find it around my ankles once again, it is, as now, nice to be appreciated. Thanks and all the best. Keith.
