Needed to clean this pic up a bit and never had a chance at the event itself to get a 'clean' shot.....not a spotless job but didn't turn out too bad.

Yes, the guy out front wanted a moment alone with his favorite Lamborghini.....

This came out real good.
Another good method to go a step further then this is to cutout the car real clean with the polygonal lasso tool set to a 0 feather. Then goto layer>new>layer via copy. Highlight the background layer and select smart blur or the blur tool and experimet. Background & Foreground blur is Great for added depth.
You have to play around with it but give it a try, works well.

This is a shot I took at Maple Grove Raceway last year.
Great example of foreground blur.

So for reference, was the picture of grass 'before' or was the car not in the image before you did your edit? Just curious what the 'before' pic was.......if that car was cut and pasted from another source then this is pretty impressive......

The before was just no blur at all, clean clear blades of grass. Didnt look cool, so I blurred it for depth.

Probably brings more central clarity to the subject and less visual wandering from it too. Neat feature, I haven't seen that yet.......
