  I agree with Connie. This is very soft and gentle and lovely. I like the movement in the hair, too.

  Hi Stephanie! Thank you!! I appreciate that you were nice enough to compliment my image. I'd like to create professional images for sale using this technique so I think I'll keep it a secret for a little bit longer. I know...I'm being selfish. I don't mind sharing most of my techniques but I'll wait on this one. Thank you...thank you!!

  Well, this last comment just burnt my bippies. I was gonna ask you for the technique myself. Excellent photograph, though, dear lady. Simply excellent.

  I'm sure glad I stopped by your gallery to catch up, cause I would have missed this one entirely! An absolutely beautiful portrait, Dolores! Your daughter is beautiful to begin with, but your technique really makes it something special :-) I can't believe that this isn't in the finals. In fact it should be a first place winner!

  Gary, I would say at least 10 of my favorite photos didn't make it to the finalists. I am always a bit shocked at many of the 2nd place winners every month. I would love to see BP have a peoples choice award. I think this is a beautiful photo as well and should have made it further.

  Greetings Gary!! Sheesh...you'll wear out your keyboard with your generosity on my images! Thank you so much! I'm saddened that the judges didnt' deem it worthy of finalist but that's the way it goes. Thank you for your approval of this image..and deeming it worthy of 1st place honor...it truly means alot to me!

Margaret...Thank you again for your consistent support of this image! Your support means a tremendous amount! You're very kind....thank you so much for praising and lifting this image. It's a special one to me...and I appreciate all you've said on it.

Yes...I agree with you, Margaret...not always being in agreement with 2nd place winners. I thought I knew what the criteria was..but some months I scratch my head too.
