    Final Edits of The Stools - One Bokeh and One Crisp
    Thanks Linda.. Always appreciate you dropping by to help me out..


    Allen: here is the version cleaned up with everyone's suggestions and (your) suggestion of some bokeh... and one that has no bokeh.. and now both are finished editing wise.... Thanks for the help....

    The stools are not my final entry but have made it onto the final list...

    What do you think?


    Here they are:



    With Bokeh

    ignore the un-blackened area under the counter.. that was just pointed out to me and I did not see that.. It must have happened when I adjusted shadows and highlights..

    Hi Kat,

    I am sure this will not be your last attempt, but I like it with the Bokeh, because when you take the blur out, I feel like the image gets too busy on one's eyes. With the blur in the background, it is more to the point and fits the theme better. So, I like the first of the 2 better.

I can hear it now.. each one of us standing up at a self help ranch somewhere in the West one day,
    :gone"Yes, my name is Katrina, and I am addicted to Digital Grin.. it will be AA for Dgriners.. Laughing.giffriday.gif.. I think I will be proactive and go build that Digital Grin Anonymous Website now..:lol4
