 Thanks for both previous posts.  This isn't a challenge shot, so I did what I wanted with it.  I used PS to work with the background.  The original had too much clutter in the background, so I created a second layer and blurred it out pretty completely.  The next step was to select the eraser and take away the part of the blurred layer that I wanted the bottom (clear) layer to show through.  I was pleased that the affect actually looked good.

		| This IS a wonderful portrait. It isn't a really tight crop, but with the girl and the kitty, it works superbly. The overall feel of it is warm and fuzzy, yet it isn't cheesy in the least. I like the DOF and the lighting is very nicely executed. |
