hi vickie
nice pose but just seems a little overmanipulated, the hair on the left seems smudged too.

Wow Vickie, very porecelin doll-like isn't she.

is smart Blur a part of PS? Im still slowly trying to drive mine

[zenotri]

Snowygal, it's part of Adobe PS Elements. It may be in photoshop as well?

Lynda, that made me smile...one of the most common things people said about her as a baby is that she was like a pocelain doll.

You're right Taff, needs to be obvious or minimalist. Here is another one, I reduced the blur a little & think it looks more realistic:

PS: Does anyone know how I can fix the shirt?

hi vickie
thats much more realistic, and if you want to fix the shirt try using the burn tool as its a little overexposed, but it will be difficult puting any detail back into it

I always enjoy viewing you creative vision Vicky & this is no exeption...

It seems to me you have tried to recreate the early part of the last century, around the 20's & 30's... I'de love to see these in BW :D

i think sometimes with filters you need to either do them very very minimally, or overdo them to the hilt.. to me these seem a little in the middle..

They could look very nice as psuedo paintings, which I think is meant to be the effect, but I think they are a little underdone..

BUt then again, overdo them, and Id probably tell you I thought they were overdone! :D ;)
