My Aqua Challenge Entry

I decided to post my entry into the current challenge. It was an Aqua Challenge. (Joel's idea) Here's my entry:

This is an older photo that I took of one of my Mom's friends out behind my parents' house. I duplicated the image and ran one of my old b/w actions on the duplicate. Then I dragged the b/w image over the top of the color image and changed the b/w layer transparency to 60% to give it the color you see. Other than that I selected around the subject with a 20% feather, inverted, added a slight blur, modified>contracted 20px>repeat blur. The background needed a little separation from the subject. I think that's about it? I did this a week ago, so the details are getting fuzzy now.
