The shot is so wide, the viewer misses the action and grows bored looking for it. Not meant rudely.

Too busy. Should try to crop or shoot closer in to isolate some of the action

That looks like a melee. Nice sharp shot, although it's a little busy for my liking. I'd have tried to zoom in more on the action, if possible. Still, it's a very clean crop and nicely composed as it is. Good work.

You`re almost right Ed.
Where you got it wrong was the bit about "CAREFULLY" selecting the background....c`mon, you know me, I`m too lazy to go to these lengths, I just use the blur tool and zap it. :)

If I did it, it`s got to be easy...no working with layers and altering translucency or any of that malarkey.The day I am unable to get the effects I want the easy way, is the day I`ll bite the bullet and start learning this game.

No it isn't original - it's done by carefully selecting and blurring the background, but it does give the most bizarre effect, doesn't it? A guy called Tom Merilion does this kind of thing for real, using a 5x4 format film camera altered to take 35mm film - thus exacerbating the depth of field.

It's a top effect, and beautifully served here Gordon.

PS. Oh, and let me know if I'm wrong, and I'll apologise profusely. But you can't do this with a 602Z, i know that :-)
