About the Image(s)

Each year Sturgis, South Dakota holds a motorcycle rally that attracts mainly husky male riders with their ladies on growling Harley Davidson bikes. Over 500,000 attendees flood Sturgis for races, to show off their machines, attend concerts, and ride the surrounding mountain roads. This image was taken in the nearby town of Deadwood and is unique in that very few women ride bikes of their own, fewer have three-wheel trikes, and fewer yet have them decorated as colorfully as this one is.

Canon R5, 24-105 lens, f4.5, 1/8000, iso 800, handheld. I post processed in Camera raw, played with the sliders, did some cropping, and took out some objects.

How would you improve this image? I wanted to blur and deemphasize the background but I am having some trouble doing it in the most recent version of Photoshop.
