i got many wonderful comments, so i will post this making off again to say thank you friends. please be patient about my english.

this is Timo and his son Nico.i am Timo`s uncle.i took the shot in the garden. i was so happy about the expression in this shot.so i tried to get a Studio Character image.

1.i made a fast selection ( feather 12 or more pixel, try )deleted the background and adjust brightness and contrast, you can make this before you do the selection, is better i think.

2.i turned it to b/w ( i used Mystical,Tint,Tone & Colour of autofx.com ) and removed the the rest of the background from the image, using the cloner tool, its not needed to make it perfect, because i will add a radial motion blur.some contrast and brightness correction again. on the dark part of Timos face using the burn and dodge tool to brighten up this part.

  1. after this i added a radial motion blur filter ( i used the focus filter out of the Dreamsuite1 of autofx.com).

the postwork is done in photoshop 7. i used some filters of www.autofx.com.

i especially like the Mystical Tint,Tone and Colour filter.

hope you can need this informations
