Nostalgia for Elegance

Description

Photo actually taken recently at a Valentine Ball, but I envisioned it as a Victorian type of photo. Many layers, brushing, several textures applied to achieve this end result.

Exif: F Number: 2.1, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/3 seconds, Flash: fired, auto mode, red-eye reduction mode, ISO: 200, FocalLength: 6.00 mm, Model: DMC-LX5
