Description

Here is round two of playing with textures! Thank you Amber Skene for your help in my learning process!! :) I played with a few differnt versions of this, and think I like this one best. Added some old paper filter, removed some if it from her face, cropped image, and added saturation.

All advice, suggestions, and comments are welcome AND appreciated!! :)

Have a Happy Wednesday!!! :)

Jeanine- Good morning my dear friend. If I was one of the judges this stunning work of art would have some gold added to it. As much as I loved the last one, I must admit that I love this one even more. Your editing work is sensational and the look you accomplished with this portrait are unbelievable. Beautiful in every way. The background with its green and white blurred is perfect and lets us focus on the charming little girl enjoying her moment of wonder. Excellent composition and profile. Beautiful lighting and clarity and the natural skin tones so well captured. Going in my favorites as it is just a fabulous work of art.
Brilliant work.
Have a wonderful day, take care, enjoy #6278507
