It is really nice Bill, but I don't get it. Sorry! Is it actually a person and you have done something to it? To me, it looks hand-drawn, but it's still nice. #499549

Thank you all. Rebecca, don't be sorry. I appreciate your comment. Yes, it is a friend's daughter. I've posted a photo of her, previously, titled Briana. In this photo, I took her naturally blue eyes, enhanced them and her lips, and muted the rest of her features in order to highlight her eyes and expression. Best of the day to all. #499570
