A Smiling Bride-to-be
Uploaded: May 12, 2007
The setting sun caught her hair just right, as she seemed to be rehearsing her joyful smile the evening before the wedding.
I captured this during the outdoor rehearsal for this young lady's wedding that I shot a few weeks ago.
In Photoshop, I used a Gaussian Blur filter layer to soften, partially erased thru to sharpen several key features.

SO, I see you've been captivating brides-to-be, too! This is lovely; I'll contemplate what you mean by "partially erased thru to sharpen..." Not sure how to do that but sometime when I get a chance I'll try to figure it out. Nice effect for sure; the hair is so becoming! This technique would be especially appreciated by an older bride (eliminating wrinkles and such). Glad to have seen this today.
