True Colors

Uploaded: May 21, 2011

Description

Used custom PS gradient filtering on black and white conversion
and then added softening to body and hair for a more soulful/dreamy vs. detailed approach. Otherwise original is very crisp.

Song By Cindy Lauper
Written By: Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small

But I see your true colors shining through
I see your true colors, that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors,
True colors
Are beautiful like a rainbow.
