Re: PESO - Portrait

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

Just got to looking at this thread. I liked what Shel did too, but I 
preferred the full frame composition as you originally had it. I 
thought it might look nice with the background defocused and pushed 
down in value a bit ...

Eh, it's fun to try different things. :-)

Hi Steve,
Here's a Q&D adjustment using gaussian blur on the fireplace grate and
a
somewhat tighter crop.  The area around the hair could be a lot better,
but
all you wanted was an idea, right.  Bill's crop, while a good option,
eliminates the background fire, which, imo, adds a nice, warm touch to
the
portrait.

Q:  I find the metal top of the fireplace distracting.  I can't see
to
fix ti with just cropping.  Any other suggestions?
