OK, here's the baby. I took this in my master bath this morning - she was leaning into the tub, which has a window over it. Behind her, was, well, the rest of the bathroom, laundry basket, etc - stuff I wanted out. So I took the background down to zero brightness and then did a blur on it, just to be safe and then went around and evened out all the black/baby boundary lines.
I'm fine with all black as opposed to laundry basket, but here's the question, I spent a lot of time trying to make the edges of the baby natural-looking, like it hadn't been highlighted and screwed with. Did I accomplish this adequately or is it still too obvious? Any suggestions?
Second question, see that eczema on her cheek (it's from peanuts - I'm 90% sure she's allergic *sigh*)? What do you suggest to smooth it out a bit? I did a light blur on it, but that doesn't seem like the right approach. thoughts?
