[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was doing the photo coverage of a small concert and saw these blue jeans for the TL theme. Looks like someone else did too - I like the social dynamics - she's focused on the band, he didn't seem to care about the music.

A little bit of post processing was done to desaturate the background and blur it a bit more.

Interesting blur effect, but I would prefer the shot from the other side... ;-)

Very effective image. The composition and point of view are really marvelous. your blur tended to blur the subjects, too, which I actually like. If you wanted to avoid that, you could duplicate the layer, and then blur the background only. Nice stuff, Dan!

I´m serious! I realy like your picture. Strong efect. Absolutly great result!
Fine shot Dan.

A fotografia está interessante ...gostava antes de ver a "bela" de frente ....

Well observed, Dan. For me the desaturation works well, but I think you overdid the blurring a bit. It really created a halo around the people, which is very much present around the legs. Did you use a standard blur tool, or have you applied Gaussian blur ? In my experience the latter creates these kind of halos if you blur too much.
Good note, puts the picture into its proper perspective. TFS.

Very nice work!

Nice addition to the Blue Jeans Theme. She is probably a nice girl... and this guy has some interest. Regarding the blurr effect (aka comment by Dingo), i do not cut anymore the subject, but use duplicate layers that i ereased over the blurred one.

This is great for the Blue Jeans theme. Not only is she in blue denim, but he's wearing denim colours on this tops too!
Great depth of field, and wonderful candit shot. I see what they mean about the blur now, but I still like it a lot.

I love the gaussian, it is a verz good tool to highlight and arrange mood. I love this couple, you did so. I also like the mood its picture, its like film, and fun :)

The effect of the postprocessing is quite fascinating. One could almost say overdone but to the point where it becomes original and interesting. I will bear that in mind. Thanks for the tip. And funny shot of course. You could have put it in the humorous category as well.

J'ai visité votre galerie et je trouve vos images très originales. Vuos avez beaucoup de créativité! Cette image en témoigne bien. Excellente composition avec cet arrière-plan flou.Bravo!
Bye, Jacques

super title and super eye !funny shot, he really is the beer and the beast is starting to surge.
