Winner of lets play #7 - 7-14-2018 Jameel with 4 votes

[Ben Egbert]

Congratulations to Jameel who won this week's lets play with 4 votes.

We had 5 entries which is really good considering this was an offbeat image. I saw lots of very good results and tried to emulate them, but my blurring technique was so bad I am not going to show it.

I need a volunteer for an image for 7-28, any takers (Jameel perhaps?)

That entry was nicely done Jameel. Congratulations.

Thanks guys. Ill find an image for you ben. Dont have a shortage for those i have culled out. Have been quite busy with both work and family and so photography has taken a back seat lately.

Ben, the blurring is the easy part. Just use PS lens blur and play with the two sliders till you are get the look you want. Masking is where the hard work is. Topaz remask does a fairly good job for about 80+ % of the the way. The last bit is all manual. Then blend to taste.

I got the mask but did not like the blur. I will try lens blur
