How to isolate a background?

[Flora]

Butch,

just a small detail... ... If you look at the shadows in the 'original', you'll notice that the light source comes from the top right (my top right) of the little girl ...

Your shadow should be much lower and go in the opposite direction ...

Flora, thanks for taking the time to write out the instructions on the different ways to isolate a background. I'm definately going to keep a copy of this for future reference. The instructions and photo really give a lot of info. Thanks for your time and patient.

Thanks Flora...but I must say, my world is always a little backward...

Detail... funny how some easily see important details and others never do...lol Maybe experience will help in say 100 years or so.
