Class 3 and the pen tool

So I missed this class, was visiting with family in Calgary!

What did I miss, using the pen tool - basic but finicky - and the blur filters, so now I've messed around with both, and images showing mess around are posted below.

So I grabbed an image of the humming bird of the net, used the pen tool to trace it. After using the pen tool to trace the image fully, and closing the path, I added a layer mask (the camera looking icon at the bottom of the layer window) and voila - rather like using the majic wand tool. I added a small motion blur to the humming bird, and then created its duplicate, and threw them on a fun background. I enjoy reefs, so :)
For this one I have changed the colors in the background, and added a heavy motion blur to the background. I have also added a bit of light to the closer bird.

Cheers for now
