A few weeks ago I posted a shot showing an intentionally blurred background as a way of getting rid of a mess and created a bit of separation. Here's another, this time I've used a motion blur at 45-degrees. I've included the original for reference. The rest is a fairly simple composite. To improve the skin texture I've selectively blurred on a separate layer and then blended to taste - not nearly as effective as frequency separation but a whole lot quicker! I'd be interested in your opinions of the result. (And yes, I've at last succumbed to the pressure and converted to sRGB so display nicely!).

It’s that big stick you wave Linda! I jest, I simply felt guilty! Glad you like the pic.

Nicely done. I especially like how you applied the additional dressing behind the pendant.

Very nicely done. Blurring backgrounds with motion type blurs can produce great results.
