    Hi Folks;

    This is an in-camera blur, PP in CS5 with mostly cropping and stroke. See what you think?

    Comments always welcome

    All ideas and display can be blamed 100% on the MP (Mad Painter)

    Keep smiling

    I.m going for the one with the eye., Nice work Gus and the colors and the blur are appealing. Not much wiggle room for the little one.:)

    I like the one with the eye too, but you need to soften it up a bit with a Gaussian Blur so that it looks in part believable.

    Neat blur, Gus! Love the color and motion. I like the one with the eye better too. More room all around would be good.
    God Bless
