Hi All, well here's a cluttered + noisy B/ground mixed lighting  shot so enjoy +  have Fun Raw File included.

Cheers

You do realize that if the little girl becomes cuter, the authorities will have to pass ordinances against her getting cuter.

As far as your photo, not much to do.

I straightened and aligned the door frames, which inadvertently seemed to make the bride seem more slender.

Cleaned up some of the background distractions and I toned down the hot spot on the upper left side of the left door.

Thanks for sharing.

Had a ball Ray, thanks for the play.

Regards Patsym

Haha yeah a little cutie indeed Tom I'll probably post a few of her on her own for yous to edit

Thanks you did a really fine job here + yeah the bride looks great now Thank you again.

Cheers

Ray

Absolutely brilliant Patsy, I didn't think anyone would try the full extraction Ha glad you enjoyed + thank you. Just thinking this would make a Great Thank You card . Thanks again.

Cheers

Ray

I really like the "Horns" on the lady in the dark dress.  Edit to add:  Perhaps I should have called them "Antlers".

Vernon...

Very nice capture.  Here is my version, which probably still has a much too busy background:

Hi Allen , great extraction + blends in nicely with your B/Ground. Thank you.

Cheers

Ray

Sorry Vernon, where have all the antlers gone, good spot.

Regards Patsym

Ray when Man Utd went 2-0 down I began to get a little down, so I decided to have another go, half way thru I had a glance at the score expecting Utd to have been beaten, "Utopia" they won 3-2 , I went mad with the photo that beautiful girl must have brought them luck.

Regards Patsym

Bahahaha now Patsy why do you think my user name is Gerrard?????? Huh well after Steven Gerrard Lol I'm a Liverpool fan

Anyways back to your edit now I really like this one Patsy  which is not surprising when it comes to your edits Well done Pal + once again thank you .

Cheers

Ray

Thanks Patsy, Good job losing the Antlers.  Suggest the small part at the back of her head (joining with the object) also be eliminated so to have no contact with it.  You really have your "extracting method" optimized.  I have noticed several of your background replacements that are perfect.  Wish I had that talent.

Vernon...

Allen, just a suggestion: Suggest her shin tone (for Face and neck) needs some adjustments. Her Arms appear like Natural "Feminine" Skin

Yes, you are absolutely correct, Vernon.  It does need to be adjusted.
