infocus: I really like what you did with that photo.... how did you put the bokeh in the background? That really makes a difference. Nice job!

Just because we live in the US doesn't mean we don't follow La Liga

Hi, thank you for the apology, graciously accepted. Just a misunderstanding of the English wit. I will know better in the future. We speak the same language but often we don't understand, for me I cannot laugh at an American comedian for some of the jokes, I just don't see the funny side, yet the audience are rolling about the floor in hysterics.
Thanks again, My regards to Ken.
Harry.

Canon fire, thanks for the feedback. I understand what you are saying. It is one of the reasons I wanted to try a DSLR. I have a tremendous way to go but feel at least this part of the problem has improved somewhat. This photo may have been taken with a point and shoot, I'm not sure, I'll ask my husband if he remembers. Thanks again for your input. Every bit of advice is most helpful!

grammyratzi, you are absolutley correct (but you knew that I hope) this site is about helping people and all the stuff you said. Please do not worry yourself regarding the ones that said you should be happy you got a picture at all etc., We are all here to help not criticise motives. Hope you liked what I did for you but it was very rough. More time better result etc.,

Other than some cropping/framing issues and the red eye, which are both easy to fix-- it may be that what makes it look shopped is the difference in the quality of light for the room and for the two guys. As has been mentioned, this is what happens when you mix ambient light with fill flash

Infocus, no worries! People here have really been supportive. I love the way that there is a wide spectrum of opinons and suggestions for different views and techniques to handle issues when there is a question asked. I love the support and encouragement given when a photo is posted just for fun. I LOVE the folks that viewed my Push Me Pull You post and sent comments for the photo that was taken by my 9 yr old daughter. Every one of them were soooo supportive and encouraging that they helped create a monster! LOL She still checks every day to see if there are more comments.
This is a place I can see myself spending a lot more time enjoying everyones help and posts.

LoneRangeFinder,
You are definitely right. Sometimes a simple fix will make a huge difference in how a photo can be viewed. Thank you for offering your suggestions!

This photograph would look much better by simply cropping below the third button on the blue shirt. It is always a bad mistake to cut through legs like this.

Wow...a photo with "Tuvok" way to go. I like your original best of all. Looks natural to me.

Hi susyseek, sorry i took two days to reply. Some how I missed your question. Any way, thank you for your nice comment. The bokeh is applied with a programme called (strangley enough) Alien skin Bokeh. Great programme and very easy to use.

I think she was referring to the comment, "Outside of posting it on UHH, maybe only a dozen people on the planet might ever see it."
It's sad but sometimes you have to have thick skin to post on UHH. Suggestions on improving technique or a photo seems to be an opening to comment on everything other than your original question. I loved your question and thankful you posted. It was an interesting question and I learned from some of the responses. Keep asking!
