    He definitely has the look of a child that has seen more then a child should see. Haunting...yes.

    just for fun, it might be cool to select out the background and blur it a bit.

    Exactly what I was thinking. You should try that.

    Nice shot, by the way thumb.gif

    thanks for your comments... yes I did blur out the back ground, specially that chair.. :) and I did'nt think it worked... lost it's reality.. but maybe I'll have another go and tone it down.
    thanks again

    You probably know this--I never know how much advice to give, a lot of people on this forum are much further down the road than me. Anyway, if you put the bluring in a separate layer, all you have to do is change the opacity of that layer to adjust how much of that blurring you see.

    Thanks Josh.. no I appreciate your input. I'm familiar with photoshop and layer masks I just did'nt like the finished product no matter what I did.. it still looked wrong.. maybe what I should do is really darken the background on that side.. could add drama.. or not :D I'm parked on the edge of I-84 in my rv on the way back from Fl so maybe I should wait to get home...
