I took this shot in Central Park, on a sunny day. The sun came from the right front. Using a large aperture I managed to get the nice background blur. In Photoshop I duplicated the image layer and converted it into sepia. Then I added a layer mask to bring back 37% of the red of the original.

Very, very nice. I really appreciate your explanation, too, as I'm a real amateur but trying to learn. Saw this in Editor's Picks. Congratulations. #4127135Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
