She looks a little like Princess Diana there, would you agree? What a cool shot and I love her intense look. I think she is really zeroed in! Did you use sepia? Still trying to figure that one out.

Love it!

Hi Sister! Thanks so much.
I agree. And she's such a sweet soul.
For this shot I used several filters in Smart Photo Editor: interior, supercontrastlowcolor and vibrance.
Don't you have sepia in your camera?
If you don't it's very easy to convert into sepia in PSE7. I'll mail it to you, okay? #10269842

Oh yes! I have sepia! :))) Thanks for the offer. :) I love that you used your SPE (Smart Photo Editor) program! Ha! I need to try my hand at it again soon, too. The possibilities on that program are endless. Literally!!!

Night night! And Happy Day to you!

Kiki, somehow I missed this lovely candid portrait until now. Love the s/c on her hat ~ it stands out so well in the otherwise b&w image. Beautifully composed, too. Very well done, my friend! #10280551

Kirsten Kiki Kjaer August 19, 2012

Happy Day to you too, Sister, and to you, Mary.
And thanks so much for your kind words. #10281725
