SOMETHING FOR EVERY PHOTOGRAPHER – Part II
By implementing some of your comment suggestions, I’m sharing a newly processed image with these additional edits:
- I brought in the crop to eliminate some of the busy background
- Though not ideal, I gave the background a slight blur in post-processing to place more focus on Marissa
- I lowered the saturation to create a more natural look
And finally, I invite your additional comments. Is this better?
This is what it could look like with a double mat and framed.

I definitely like the fact that you cropped the picture more – the focus is much more on her now and the blurring helped also. It’s getting there! Good job.
