The Lotus pic frustrated me. I was loosing sunlight and the owner just kept putzing around. I just as I gave up he decided to get in.

The Red VR4 was not even posed Max just left his helmet there as he waited to get on the track I was coming up the hill and had to take the shot.

Their was no way to get the background in focus the camera was literally inches from her. We were both hanging out the second floor window.

I think you're mistaking Alan for Harry Potter you silly hippy!

You don't want the bg MORE in focus as it takes away from the main subject. DOF is important in these types of shots.

How would I do this?

are you familiar with layer masks? you can do that or the easiest way would be to duplicate the layer, desaturate, then erase a small section over the B/W picture - revealing the blue eye.

I love the dog picture, there is so much emotion in the dog's features. The picture really makes me feel like I'm there.

I went to try last night and discovered I need to reload photoshop. Oh well maybe tonight.

Hey Alan, one thing with the Lotus pic. I think it would have balanced better if the Lotus had been on the left of the pic with open space in front of it rather than behind.
Like what you did with the dog pic and part of what makes it so great. You see where shes looking, not whats behind her.

While I agree, it was not possiable. The rest of the parking is just out side of frame on the left of the picture.
