Stunning photograph. The blurred background, the light on the trees, the reflection in the water...I am just in awe!

You`re almost right Ed.
Where you got it wrong was the bit about "CAREFULLY" selecting the background....c`mon, you know me, I`m too lazy to go to these lengths, I just use the blur tool and zap it. :)

If I did it, it`s got to be easy...no working with layers and altering translucency or any of that malarkey.The day I am unable to get the effects I want the easy way, is the day I`ll bite the bullet and start learning this game.

No it isn't original - it's done by carefully selecting and blurring the background, but it does give the most bizarre effect, doesn't it? A guy called Tom Merilion does this kind of thing for real, using a 5x4 format film camera altered to take 35mm film - thus exacerbating the depth of field.

It's a top effect, and beautifully served here Gordon.

PS. Oh, and let me know if I'm wrong, and I'll apologise profusely. But you can't do this with a 602Z, i know that :-)
