A week or so ago I had a chance to spend some time shooting a friend(It's okay I am a terrible shot:wink).

Well i finally got back to take a shot at some PP. I'll show the before and after. Let me know what you think.

Before(sooc)



After (Piknik)



I normally use PSE7 so Piknik was a bit different.

I like the orton effect that you gave after PP, looks great removes skin blemishes and gives nice glow to entire picture. Interestingly enough blur section in her lower part of body is catching more attention than the eye.. is is possible not to blur lower portion of body and sharpen the eyes or whiten them further ?

doesn't work for me. The fake bokeh is really fake. The crop now makes the teddy bear indiscernable. The face is better but her expression is killing the whole shot for me.

I like the effects on the face, hair and background. I think it is too much on her left sleeve, chest, left arm, and I agree that I like the teddy bear in the shot better than the crop.

It would be nice to see how it looks with those areas closer to the original or with just a very small amount of adjustments.
