Verena's 'Reading is her love '

Just reworked Verenabloo's photo in PSP, I first cropped the photo, then straitened it up, added some soft focus, played around with the light, added a halo, adjusted the colours, and then re sharpened the whole image, hope you like this little effort Verena, as I hope the rest of you like it as well.

This is absolutely wonderful! I love the soft colors and focus... makes it look like as if she's in a dream... just like she probably is when reading!
Excellent work!!

Love this Mark, and Verena's original for giving you the inspiration. Big story book and a child lost in thought and her imagination. Lovely stuff.

Jeez Mark, do you have to demonstrate such classy judgement all the time? :) Lovely portrait,evokes that dreamlike quality of "better than reality/lost in another reality" that childhood at it's best can be like. Awesome work with real heart. Faved.

Hey Mark..I do like the softening effect that you did, she deserves the softness...she's such a sweetie pie... I have a harder time seeing this because of my right eye having such a trouble. But I do like what you did. I'll have to practise on my own PS to try out more things. I get scared to, but you've inspired me now.What did you mean by you added a halo? Thank you for your kind work on this...Verena

Fantastic image to start with and what you did really enhances the story of what is happening here. Such a wonderful use of soft focus and lighting. Nice work, Mark.
