Description

Taken while riding a bus...a lovely young girl deep in thought this summer. Debated posting this but the motion blur seemed to carry her thoughts. Minor adjustments in PS.

I see that you use photoshop. Do you know how to change a background in that program?

I like this photo. The blur really adds to it.

Hi Carly...my nickname is Carly.lol

Thank you very much for your comment. I was disappointed at first with the shot and all the blur but for some reason kept going back to it. I wasn't sure if it was just me remembering the moment or...if it had some sort of appeal???

Here are some excellent tutorials on various ways to change/remove a background. These tuts would probably explain better than I could. http://graphicssoft.about.com/library/weekly/aa000607b.htm

Do hope it helps, please let me know.

I really like the pensive look of this girl you captured Sharon. And I like the motion blur also. #26906

Heather, so nice of you to comment! Her look was pensive, shortly after I took the shot she smiled and we had a brief chat.

Oooh Delores, Thank YOU for your encouragement and I do appreciate your comments. It means a Lot.

Carolyn thanks alot, I'm still a novice and tend to be rather unsure of myself yet.lol #27001
