I took a bunch of photos for they Leisure Reading theme. I’ll only share three, though, and move on.

I wanted to selectively focus on the title of the book through my wife’s glasses. Unfortunately, her prescription isn’t strong enough to change the focal point significantly.

I thought the contrast between the story of migrant workers during the Dust Bowl and the Ralph Lauren glasses was poignant.

Depending on how strong you want Liz's prescription, it could look this way to someone with 20/20...

Applied a subtle Gaussian blur (1.5) to the book. Then used a layer mask to clear up the part of the book seen through the glasses.
