Very pretty, Kresta ! I love how the hat covers the eyes and makes them mysterious!! How did you get the softness around the edge of the photo?? I am very curious of this. I just got Photoshop 7.o and cannot figure it out.

Thanks, Ron and Tammy. I used my Photodelux program to get the softness around the edges. I am learning Photoshop myself. I hope to get the hang of Photoshop soon .I know it has many more options then Photodelux.

Lovely shot. Very nicely composed.
To get the softness in photoshop 7, use the rectangle marquee, select majority of the shot, right click and select feather, set the number of pixels (the bigger the picture the more pixels you can choose), then cut. You will find that the outer edge will now be softened in a similar way to that shown in "The Kiss"
