Thank you so much for telling me, Shirley!! I might not be able to figure it out when sitting doing layers, but it´s nice getting an idea about it because it is just so fantastic work!
Take care:-)

Thank you so much for your sweet words, dear Annemette!:) I took this using a studio strobe, but found I could not connect it to my D80, so had to use the built-in flash to trigger the stobe. I layered this selectively several times...first with a blurred version to soften the harsh light effect from the flash, then blended with the inverted tree photo (the background), applied one of the 'pencil' effects in my little software (Microsoft Picture It), and again selectively layered with the first layered version, then cropped. Whew! Think that covers it.:):):)

What a fantastic portrair, Shirley- I absolutely adore it!! Soft, dreamy, artistic - you look like a fair lady from some distant magical woods - so beautiful. May I ask how you did it? This softness, the patterns?
Be well
Annemette
PS: an absolute favourite

Lovely photoart dear Shirley, the effects go very well with the crop; mysterious and distant, perhaps because I perceive it like some sort of fresco...
Cheers!

There is no strap...I was naked...LOL...that's one of the tree branches. I guess I should have cloned it out, but didn't think of what it looked like. Thanks, Bek.:)

What lovely green eyes you have Shirley!!! Now I sound like the big, bad wolf!
Great colour selections, nice warm tones, excellent blending.
Are you half here or half gone?
cheers, Beks
