Congradulations
awesome photos and i hope it all works out for ya

Duplicate your image and blur the duplicated image to however you see fit. Add a layer mask to the blurred image and start erasing the parts you want sharpened. Once you're done with your mask you'll need to click on the blurred image (not the mask) and start stamp tooling the edges around the horse to eliminate the blurred/glow effect.

Let me know if this makes sense and if you have any questions.

OMG!!!! How the hell do you do that!!!
I am a real noob with Photoshop....
Can you show me what it would look like and how to do it in detail pretty please?

I understand you're excited and while this may seem like a huge opportunity for you, do not get used to giving out services without charging money in exchange for 'exposure.' Lets be honest, who benefits the most here?

Marie stands to benefit the most here, as her work is going to be exhibited in what I assume is a gallery, along with other photographer's work, giving her the opportunity to sell prints.

Of course, the gallery owner will take a percentage of all those sales, but she wouldn't have picked Marie if she didn't think they'd make her any money (or she wouldn't be in the biz for long).

I made a quick tutorial.. let me know if you have any questions.
