| Good looking subjects and nice fuzzing of the background. You could still go a bit further by darkening the background whites, and deemphasizing the disembodied legs in the right bottom corner. |

| This is wild - I've been clicking back and forth between the two photos and getting a charge. First the eyes - a little freaky, but really good work. Then the background - now you see them, now you don't! Great blur work, too. Awesome job. |

| Good work in opening your daughter's eyes (she's gonna love this shot) and making them the focal point of the photo. This is going to be a fun month!! |

| LOL, you have 2 headless guys in the BG. Try and remove the bodies as well. Your FG looks good and your models as well jsut work more on the background. Also try to not have the same items next to each other when cloning. For example, the skateboards in the backgound, looking at the after picture I can tell that you cloned from it. Try to make it not so obvious. Other than that you did really good. |

| Wow a lot of nice processing to make the two ladies stand out from the background of the shot. You don't list the steps you took to make the final composition but I can take a guess that it was a combination of blending two images, selection of background (gotta love that select tool:-) ), blur and clone tools that helped make the photo. Good job in blurring the background for now that really makes the two ladies the true focus/stars of the shot. Cloning out some of the people in the background (including that man in the backdrop between them in the original) eliminated the distracting elements that drew attention away from the main subject of your shot. Lighting on your two main subjects was wonderful in the original and they remain beautifully so in the after photo composition. The only change to the lady in pink from the original is that she now has her eyes open rather than squinting. My guess, and only a guess, is that you snapped two shots and one showed better eyes than the other (but this one had more character because of the friendly comraderie that the two woman show here). Good job on the blending of the eyes - it is flawless; had you not posted the original you could not tell she had some work done to 'open' her eyes. |

I like the way you opened her eyes but I wish she were looking at the camera instead of to the side... can you do that?? lol I have no idea, just asking :)
You did a great job of covering the folks in the BG that took the limelight away from the two subjects in the FG. Very hard to see unless you have seen the original :) |

| Wow! I opened each picture in a different tab and clicked between them, and her eyes blinked! :-) Nice job clearing out the distraction in the background as well. This should be a fun month I hope! |
