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 #8197201Laura E. Swan December 07, 2009

I am impressed with your fine filter work here, Laura! I must try and find some time to play in photoshop! #8201702Patrick Rouzes December 10, 2009
Love the focus, lighting, detail & textures here, Swanee! Glad you found your fairy! She is watching over you. #8207116Laura E. Swan 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 :) !!!
