If you are willing to post an unaltered image, I'll be happy to
show two or three different attempts at custom editing on that
particular picture, with your permission. Even then, it will
not necessarily be something that everyone will grade the same
way. Some might not like any of the edits, and other will grade
them in different orders. It would only be an added example of
what can be done, not a definition of what is "right".

And, assuming you are willing to donate that image... maybe
others would contribute their examples of what can be done.

Thanks for the offer Floyd, but at this stage I will decline otherwise
this thread will get beyond the OP into a whole new area.

Sounds like a good idea to me, in a new thread if you wish -- I think it
would be instructive to see the results of the various methods of
artificially creating shallow depth of field, perhaps even to the OP.

I'll think about that, however I have some non-photo, non-NG stuff to do this weekend.

In retirement I have the social life of a stump, so when things come up it takes more effort than I find comfortable expending.

Then on Monday I am heading off to the Sierras for a week away from my usual stomping grounds on the Central Coast. If I manage to get any shots remotely beyond the cliche Adams attempts I will post them.
