Beautiful pic. I love this look, and I've been trying without success to produce this type of "soft focus" effect in camera. I don't have photoshop, but I do have the new Aperture 3 for Mac. I'll experiment some day with the software, but I'm kind of biased toward wanting to do these things in the camera. What soft focus filter would the group recommend for producing this type of effect? #1247514

Matt - thanks and funny thing is I took this picture working on angles and was lucky enough to get this photo, then I took a photoshop class on Betterphoto and one of the classes was adding a softness to the photo, but it really looks very close to original. I just had a low apeture and was lucky. #8450459
