Description

In childhood dreams, the days can sparkle with crystal snowflakes and never melt away. My 7 year old daughter told me about a dream she had, and I tried to duplicate it in a photographic image.

Hi thanks for the commment. I dodged out the snowflakes using the dodge and burn tool in photoshop elements. It was really quite easy to do. Jennifer #3138873

Your portfolio and website are breathtaking and I have sent the link to many of my photo friends! To think you just started in 2000....great gift. Are all of your special effects (as above) done with Elements? Like Mona Lisa Smile etc? Beautiful. #4374910
