Sheldon thanks for your comments and amusing anecdote.
The revised image is essentially the same shot but I used Photoshop's Select and mask tools to isolate the main characters from the background. After quite a bit of practise with this feature I find that I can manage to mask even difficult bits of an image including hair - but it does require a lot of patience and remembering to save your work as a psd file - something I don't always remember. I replaced the original background with an image of a hedge in my garden and put the two together. As in your anecdote I had hoped that either the pug or the alpaca or even the woman might stick their tongues out but it was too much to hope for. Maybe I have an image of a tongue somewhere that I could stick on one or some of them! Maybe that's for another day. |

You have done well here to handle the contrast between the very bright sparks and the shadows on the room. Love the light on his face and his hand holding the chain. Not too bothered about the moving hand - at least this shows this was a real person and not a museum dummy! Might have tried a tiny crop off the lower edge but that's all. |

Thanks for the comments. Not long after I submitted this image to the group I did just what you have suggested. I changed the background and I hope this now creates a better focus for the viewer. See attached. |

I think next month you need to submit an image which gives us a fair chance to say it is needs a bit of work to improve it! Your wildlife images are tremendous not just for their technical quality but also their composition and level of difficulty.
This is a great image especially considering how fast these birds move so I'm a little amazed that 1/200 froze them so well. Great background. Fantastic.

Well done for getting this. I have always been too slow to get a decent image when these appear in my garden. I don't mind the somewhat distracting background as you can still see the details of the the dragonfly which is pretty sharp. Like the angle of the shot too. Maybe you might darken the bottom right and top left corners somewhat with the burn tool. |

Didn't know other group members could comment on another group but I suppose the more the merrier!
My question would be if the husband is being force-fed like this what size is he now after eight years of married life?! A great capture and a real fun shot - a great one for any family album. |

Yes, I agree to a small crop off the right - seems to give more of a focus on the people. The light sepia effect is appropriate and the people stand out well from the background. Isolating events at places like these is not easy so well done for getting this. |

I like this but there is a lot to see. I think there is a better composition without the crane on the right hand side. You then have three towers and three cranes. The image is also a little on the dark side but that may be my monitor. A dramatic urban landscape. |
