Trying to make this photo better. Lots of background clutter. Cloned it out and treid to get as clean a break as I possibly can. Posted the original photo. Dont really know if it works. Tried blurring the background but no good result. I'm totally amatuerish . What would you guys do? Thanks.

Great edit George! Solved the problems nicely!
The original composition is good Totst but as George said fuzzy.

Yes, it works for me. How did you get the painted effect? Thanks

After cloning the background to make it less clutterd,
I used a Paint Shop Pro "edge preserving smooth" @ 30 pixels.

Haven't posted for a while, how about a new background, a tad of glow and a sharpen?

Try a tighter crop and some angle to increase interest

Best I can offer....Adjusted the Hue/saturation in CS2. Applied Unsharp mask. changed the blending mode of the layer...Well a wee bit more than tht but I'm off to bed cos the Mrs is giving me a hard time...Should be doing stuff for college :) If you want the full script. which includes using the pen tool, channels, applying image etc let me know and I'll try to run you thru it.

Cheers
