This is a croped version of the earlier image, as suggested by BPN Moderator, with the 'offending' rock removed as per Robert O'Toole's masking technique.
The OOF is somewhat addressed, but I guess what is not captured in the exposure cannot be added later !!! Good lesson learned re DoF. Thanks everyone.
Technical details provided with original image.
Hi Denis I like what you did Got one suggestion Try making a layer and multiply Then back down the opacity I think you will improve the reproduction of the legs !!!!!
Incredible close up on this one and beautiful eye contact. The eye is defintiely drawn to the center of the frame. Only nit for me is the over exposed feet but Alfred covered that. Thanks for shariing Denis.
