Went to our annual Langley Cruz-in today. Didn't take a whole lot of photos as it's usually the same cars every year. What I did do however was look for the little hidden treasures.

Very nice presentation of this little jewel. Please tell us your technique.

Thanks Toad. I was just playing around. I was winging it when I came up with this. I selected the area around the ornament and inverted it>copied>pasted to a new layer>reselected the empty spot on the new layer where the ornament would be>inverted>Gaussian blur. Then just added a black border on the inner selection and the entire image. I think that I applied a border fade filter to the image at the very beginning. I know it was an extremely long way around of doingf things but like I said, just playin around.

Looks great!! Certainly a great way of dealing with an ugly/cluttered background!

Would you believe that my Grandmother's maiden name was Bentley? .... Yes. Same family!!!

That is outstanding Peto!

Thanks all.
