 This was on the playground at my son's elementary school. I have to admit I cheated and did this via Photoshop, using layers.

I still like the outcome though.

Hook 'em Horns!!! %%%%%%%%

Love the shot....didn't get time to vote on this but as usual, you have a nice touch with the post processing, Judy!

Not a bad finish! I still love this photo. I love the candidness of it!

Nice shallow DOF to isolate your subject. However I would have preferred that the sharpest point of focus was her face, it appears to be on the word TEXAS instead. Still a good fit to the challenge-7

The post-processing using the manual blur hurt this shot. Small doses of selective blurring at full resolution and time are needed.
At least I am assuming this was not a lens baby. PM me if I am wrong.

The girl is singled-out, alright, but the composition is a bit flat and messy.

love how assymetrical this is - really helps give this photo an interesting vibe

Go Texas! I love it! This is so refreshing. So candid. So focused in all the right places, and not-focused in all the right places. I love the black and white! I love it period :)

Neat answer to the challenge though I don't get the bluring of her armsand hair. Is this blurring all over rather than focus?

I should give you a bad score just because you took a picture of someone wearing a Texas shirt (OU fan here!!!). But I'll be nice! LOL. 7
