Sorry for the size on this picture..Anyway..I took a picture of my husband looking at the flag..(see the reflection in glasses) and then cut out my husband and took the picture of just the flag I took earlier that day and merged them together. I am not sure what to think of this. I also took some more pictures this day in Topeka, Kansas (our Capital)and I would like opinions on them. the website to view those is

Click on the folder titled Topeka. There aren't many...I am working on touching up the others.

| Cool idea. This is just my opinion but maybe blur the flag a little. That should help create the illusion of depth. Also feather a little bit around him. Right now he has that hard edged look that is usually associated with cut out pictures. Especially around his hair. |

I was going to make a suggestion, and then saw pcody was thinking in the direction I was. I agree with all that he says, except I would maybe make the flag a bit more transparent and blurred (for dof).
Cool idea. |

How do you make the flag transparent. I have Photoshop CS and the old photoshop...and I mean old. I prefer the old..but if you teach me in the new one..I would like to make it transparent. I wanted to do that in the beginning. Thanks. I also have another picture..Natural picture...forum called Abe Lincoln.

| if the flag is in a different layer than the husband, you can change the opacity of that layer. that will give you the effect you're looking for. (in PS 6 and 7 it's a slider in the layers-toolbar, not sure about older versions) |

| i think the picture is great and it looks fine the way it is but the idea about blurring the flag sounds like it would make it look even better |
