...her picture, that is...

Today's her birthday, so in the fun spirit of my previous thread where my good friend Tim was abused, here's an expressive shot of my wife that you can have some fun playing with in Photoshop. This is her on a dance floor at my son's bar mitzvah, and there was a lot of clutter, and a dark background, matching her hair, so I tried to cut her out to make it easy.

Winner of this one gets 3 brutally honest critical reviews of the photos of your choice by me (over the course of a week). Or just enter for fun if you want. This is a "speed challenge": only till midnight ;)

Personality: She likes walking, dancing, playing cards, skiing, playing bridge, watching movies, ... the usual.

Sorry, imageshack isnt working right today, so can't do it the easy way... here's the link to a large source file on photobucket:

edit: Hmm.. my initial intent was that she looks like a forecaster, but it kinda looks like she's causing (or dodging?) a hurricane!

The easiest selection technique I found (for anybody who is wondering), is [in PS] to go to Select, Color Range, then pick the background color and move the slider to the right to decrease the feathering.

Hey Neil, sorry that she's probably not a cubs fan, but those were the pics I was working on? I just got back from the game. I thought it was funny. Wish her a Happy birthday from me. Mahalo, B

I don't think my PS skills are good enough (yet) to have a go at this, but I've got to say that this thread has the most interesting title I've seen in a while!

Just send the guys with straight jackets now...I have no idea where this came from except that I shot this grasshopper today.

Compltete with one of those far reaching challenge titles... :)

How's the Reception now Neil, is the game clear yet?

Too funny to stop. I am going to accept entries through tommorrow Noon instead of tonight midnight. She's asleep anyway, and I probably won't get a chance to show her before then!

Thanks!

LMAO at the subject line!!

I didn't know she was a Presidential Aide.
You should have told us Neil.

Doh! I thought Neil meant something else :)

Yeah, I think Slippy took it too literally...


Half the credit goes to Nightshy since I used one of her "Show us your Slippy" entries.
