this little girl, who was only three, was out and about on a hiking trail in SF with her family. They were visiting from France. She was fearless at the high elevation we were at and she just climbed up and over anything in her way. I did photoshop this with dry brush. I loved what it did to the image. So that is how I posted it. She is quite beautiful.
thanks for your compliment. the picture without the effect is quite adorable as well but the foliage around her is more distracting then appealing in the image. With the dry brush is makes the image more interesting, I think. Everytime I try to download an image to share via the comment section it doesn't work but I'll try it.
She is a beautiful little girl! Nice job! I like the effect you made on it although I would liek to see the picture without it as well ... but great job... I like it :) ~Rachel~
