Description

This is an old photo of my daughter, Emily. It was originaly taken on film, so when I scanned it, it lost some clarity (have to get a good scanner!) I then cleaned it up in photoshop. I'm unsure about it, I think I stared at it for too long! Let me know what you think.

Love this image, Brandi. It's very ballerina vintage. She's beautiful. It looks like a photo that you would see in a dance studio! #5254994

Brandi-Lee Cester December 26, 2007

Thankyou everyone for your wonderful comments, and Chris, a vintage look was what I was trying to achieve since I couldn't go for clarity, so I'm glad that came across. After waking up fresh this morning (and your comments helped), I like it so much more, I think I worked and reworked on it in photoshop so long last night that you loose a fresh eye. #5255563
