This was called landscape layers. I used the blur tool to have the darkness affect on the sky. I made the windmills more clear and more noticible by unsharpening them, then simply lightened the ground. Creating layers.

This was a quick mask assignment, so I used the quick mask, selected the backround, then i used the blur tool. Therefore I have the blur effect in the backround.

Leading Lines Sept 22.

The lines in this photo that direct your attention to the girl sitting at the bottom of the stairs. The leading line are the railing, stair steps, and the shadow of the railing.
