Thank you both very much for your comments! I appreciate it. I wish i had come up with the peephole idea, but i read about it somewhere. I am working with all that i have right now for getting these shots on the website (using someone else's scanner, no photoshop...) so they don't look the greatest. But i'm pretty happy with how they're coming out. If you haven't seen it already, i reposted this image after retouching a bit if you want to check it out. Thanks again! (c:,'
Using the peep hole is a great idea, although you can get the same sort of effect on a computer program like "adobe photoshop" which would give you the option the sharpen the image, still great picture!
The idea is great as your intentions, but there's still a lot of work to be done. The scanning isn't too well performed. The background checkboard should have been aligned and perhaps with more saturation while keeping the blurry effect.
