The plastic wrap and lighting effects look very cool on your little visitor, Laura. Good thing you didn't really have to leave your house and brave the snowy elements to find her in your garden. (BRRRRR) :-D #8197201

Hi Tammy, Doug, Gord, Jeff, Mr. Tree, Brolan, Monnie, Carrie, Rony, Nancy L, Karen, Tammy, Kitty and Stef!

Thanks for sticking with me in my series of trying new techniques out!

It's -30c here tonight and so freezing that you just cant believe it!!! So the heater is us and there is no WAY I am going out there!!! (Except of course to take photos of this little fairy! HA!)

Appreciate you dropping in to see this one. :D

I am impressed with your fine filter work here, Laura! I must try and find some time to play in photoshop! #8201702

Patrick Rouzes level-classic December 10, 2009

Love the focus, lighting, detail & textures here, Swanee! Glad you found your fairy! She is watching over you. #8207116

Laura E. Swan level-classic December 10, 2009

Thank you Robert, John and Paddy!

Gosh this PSE7 is SO MUCH FUN. Once you dive in with the right image to alter a person can really have a BLAST in photo shop!

Here I used 3 main filters and made tone and color adjustments (In curves) until it was where I wanted it to be. Got rid of some unwanted GRAYS since I like black better.

Yes, Patrick. I believe you. This dear little fairy is surely watching over me. I can tell! Thank you :) !!!
