I worked on it last night before posting trying to blur the background.Was having a bit of trouble with layers so decided first to post the original out of camera,then try some editing. Give feedback please.

I like the blur, it draws your eye back to that amazing phonograph!

I like the blur too. Makes it look older and more unique

yes... i prefer the blur... whether achieved in or out of camera, it's the finished work that admire

Thank you ...I'll finish it off now like that. Still a few more layers and erases left.

Hmmmm ... I like the blur effect but something in it bothers me. Lemme ponder this for a second ......

Okay, I think what bugs me a bit is that the blur is inconsistent in a couple places. There are blurred and sharp bits within the same visual depth plane (in 3D, I'd say in the Z axis). To my mind, if two things are relatively on the same plane and within the perceived DOF, then they should be given the same treatment. An example is the armature.

Or, looking at it a 5th or 6th time here, maybe it's that on some parts, the transition between sharp and blurred is too fast for objects close to being on the same visual plane. -That- may be it.

How many people would actually notice it? I dunno ... for whatever reason it's the first thing I noticed. Hell, I may be the one mis-seeing here. :)

No Donald your not the only one. I noticed the "speaker" cone is blurred at the same distance from the lens as the vinyl LP. But I still like it! MM
