    Cute! I love the white rose against the vibrant foliage. And how her rosy cheeks are echoed in the pinks.

    Way cute Mitchell! I bet it would look really cool with one of the NIK filters...dunno which one but you might be able to make it look even more surreal...maybe the soft focus one? And....I am soooo jealous that you have a garden to have a fairy in! Snowing here today:cry

    Thanks, Sandy.

    Here's a version that's a little more "dreamy".

    Nothing fancy here. I just made a duplicate layer and added a gaussian blur. I then reduced the opacity and masked out areas I wanted to keep sharp (face, flower etc...).
