Hit and Run Smudging

[spinnnz]

Steve,

What a beautful job, your work is absolutely stunning. I have a question about how you print your work. Do you print your stuff, or do you send it out. If so, just wondering what printer, I'm trying to decide between the Canon 9000 and the Epson 2200. Just wondering if you had any advice before I invest.

Thanks,

Lisa

Steve,

Thanks for the info on your pricing. Very helpful.

And I think the fact that this one sold for what it did speaks for itself!

Steve,

Very nice work. I think the background is one of those subjective areas where different people prefer different looks (but, I guess that applies to almost every aspect of photography and imaging).

I've liked photos where the background has been desaturated to help the subject pop off the image.

I went into the smudged image (first one), extracted the flower, and desaturated the background (I'm at work, so it was a quick and dirty extractiont that has some rough edges). I'm not sure that it's better, it's just another variation.
