Aww...c'mon! Come over here...I wasn't gonna hurt you! Really! All source except for hand noted. See high res for detail. Made revision...no more blurriness. (5 years and 2964 days ago)

WONDERFUL.. just a tad more definition to the tack.. but if you are happy with it.. then it's fine.. I'm just looking at HI RES.. and the blur does take over the image (IMHO).. good luck and great job!!!

Really interesting image ... I do agree with Driven on the Tack blur ... but it is only noticeable in High res.

author says:

@Drivenslush and arca: Thanks for your input. I've removed quite a bit of blur now, but am trying to establish depth where the balloon and hand are in focus and the tack being so close to the foreground is slightly blurred. I keep thinking realistically both objects wouldn't be in focus and am trying to keep the balloon and hand the center subject. Does that make sense? I hope so.

MossyB says:

Great concept, but the entire image is too blurry, except for the balloon, which is so far back, yet crystal sharp. The fuzzy looking hand next to it just compounds the overall incongruity...Also, if the back end is enclosed, where is that light source on it coming from???

author says:

Thanks MossyB for your observations. I missed the light thing on the elevator bottom. Thanks. I darkened it. Looks better. I removed all the blurriness of the shot. Looks clearer. Thanks for everyone's suggestions.

There are a few masking probs. but overall it's a good final result.
I appreciate your try of making DOF, sorry it didn't work -instead, making some dust would & should have looked really better.
