The Great Petition.

Not the first time I've posted these, but I've processed them slightly differently.
Thanks to Barkly for previous comments which I took on board.

This is cool, im guessing it was done one of two ways.

- Two exposures: On in focus, one way out of focus and then blended in PS?

- Blur in PS?

I agree, cool processing. It is an interesting subject that lends itself to a different style of processing.

Haha, the first option would be easy for me. Blur the pics, but no I didn't think of that one.

I used the 2nd option. I duped the layer, used magic extractor to select only the sculpture.
The Gaussian blurred the original layer.

It's not perfect, but I did like the effect.

Thx Corbin.

Thanks LJG

There was too much distraction in the background, so it was an easy decision to blur it out.
And I cropped it tight enough to remove some of the street signs.
