drowing in the romance of it all
Happy Valentines Day

*****
companion to [link] and my submission for Valentine's Day. i chose another image from probably my favorite shoot of all the
day shoots. i chose a different style to present this one in - i adore the victorian softness of this and the pleasant smile on her dreamy face i'll edit it after the holiday and remove the typography 
(FULL VIEW to slip into her dreams.....)
**the border is a bit wider on the bottom b/c it did have typography that said Happy Valentine's Day but now I've removed it as the holiday is over and I'd like the image to stay in the gallery on its own and not necessarily related to the holiday

I am definitely strangely interested by the blur that those pics seems to have.
of course, it ads to the softness and that kinda of feeling you wanna give with that serie, but it's like thre's something else that fascinates me, and i can't point it out!!!!???!!!!
Now, something else I like a lot, is that it seems you turned the pic in b+w, then colored it digitally.
I don't say that it is what you did at all.
but it gives that feeling, and also, of course, the feeling of old picture.
The lack of saturation is truly wonderful.
Now, I would have love, of course, silly me, a little more sharpness, but really,
you have evolve miss!
And it's great to see!

This is GREAT!
And I mean it!
Try to play with teh Channels, it's similar and ral real good.
One tricy way with your Levels and colours, is that, if you turn your pic to CMYK, then you can adjust JUST THE BLACK!!!!
Which is the impossibe chalenge in RGB.Then, you can turn back the file to RGB and have access to way more filters and such.
Ah, I wish I was loaded with $$$$.
Seriously, I just know what books to buy and ship to you.
And get you a expensive submission to teh Professional Association of PS User and more more more...
However, one thing I can do, is send you a cd that come wityh the WOW PS Book, which as hundereds of style and actions and moreeeeeeee!!!!
So, here is my present of the day for you!
Gime 2 weeks and it's at your door dear!

so tell me about you and cancer - noting your signature.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ohhh. Apart from the fact I roleplay as a character named Cancer... That would be one of my favourite quotes from Pet Cemetary... Stephen King. 
It was something to do with Oz The Gweat And Tewwible... He lives in your cereal waiting for you to choke...

I just love how girly this is. It reminds me of when you run a bath, and it is that perfect temperature, and you float there, feeling like you are in heaven.
Sorry if that's a weird comparison, but that's the feeling I get off it.
Brilliant work

shes beautiful, looks like shes lost in her own world...
the pastel color works so well.... great composition!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Ohh i think I'm in love with this one. The composition is absolutely gorgeous and her pose and expression so relaxed and... well, beautiful. I'm gonna sound like a bit of a whiner now, but I'm kind of missing some sharp areas.... I do like the softness, but if her lips for example were a bit sharper it would really give it that 'wow'-focal point. Lovely tones. This is really a beautiful image.
I hope your Valentine's was as beautiful as your pictures for it.

as I liked the previous shot I do like this also, so similar but defenetely different, I mean it's a completely different shot (as you wrote in the description tones are completely different and surely victorian) but the sensation I feel looking at it is almost the sam I feeled with the other peace, quiet, love....
It's fantastic how you drove my emotions to the same point but using two different ways...
as in real life doesn't matter the way you take to reach a place, the important is to reach it and if it's a great "place" (like this) the effort was worth to be taken.
Thanks

nice good choise mary
i think many other people can prefeer a more saturated version, but i exactly like very much the lower saturation on this!
i also like the flowers color you used and the dark red pastel on her lips.
i think this is the "most one" for this series of your.

i like how the petals are just strewn all over her...
the subdued colours work very well

I love the softness & sensuality of this image. The colours, or lack there of, really flatter her.
Beautiful.
