I think the blurred back ground is at the minimum blur. I wouldn't mind seeing it blurred just a tat more. Add some Filter/Render/Lighting to create the illusion of a studio-hair-light and you have a nice "Butterfly-lighting" studio portrait.

This was the first picture I picked from my grandfather's negatives last November. I've probably redone it 18 times. Everytime I learned something new in PS I'd go back and rework it.
Well, its not perfect, never will be. But, I've mailed it out for Mother's Day so I am committed....05-09-2006, 10:02 AM -
This photo was recently discovered by my mother, tucked inside an antique silver photo frame behind another photo. It was shot in 1915 and the infant is my grandmother. I am in the process of restoring it to fill a 4x6 print.
