C&C on these two images please ...

I guess it just takes a great deal of practice to get it just right! I'll keep trying! Thanks so much for your opinions!!

I really like the edits you've done Denise. The DOF looks realistic and is done really well. Kelby's books helped me a lot when I was starting to learn photoshop. If you are looking for another great resource I really got some benefit out of Matt Koklowski's book titled "Layers" (I think).


I like the toned down vignette in the second run you did, nice job.
