I'm still working with photoshop. Selection is very difficult for me in particular. I shot this lily today. As the untouched image shows, the background is undesirable.
I did some contrast/exposure adjustment and then tried selecting the flower and using gaussian blur. My question is whether it just looks strange or if it improved it at all?
After the selection (magic wand, feather and smooth) i increased by 5 pixels. It gives the iris a slight "glow" sort of feel. What I don't know is, again, does it simply make it odd?
Note: the effect is more subtle on the print than the posted jpeg.
