Terrific first attempt. ALternatives to unbending arm, use the blur tool-- or the smudge, I find blue easier to handle-- and go lightly around the sharp edges of all her joints, not just the elbow. Now,again in a paint program, take the lasso and roughly outline her head, invert the selection and give the rest of the picture a slight blur, gaussian if youve got it. There you go, quick and cheap depth of field. She's got a lot of shadow in the face area but it looks right for the scene. Next time maybe render larger than your final and you can do the cleanup in the the big pic and then resize and get an added touch of anti-alias and depth of field. Emily
