Take time to smell the roses

[Nat]

My GD is growing too fast, so I always take time to photograph her, before the "roses fade away" ......I was playing around with CS5 filters and other actions.....any comments/advice for improvement welcome.

Very artsy... different!
Art is in the eye of the beholder, and this beholder... likes it very much

Nice, well done. the only thing i might have done is to add light camera left, high to lessen the shadow on the shoulder.

Thank you, Mark and Theresa, for the comments.....I like to add effects...but some find them too artsy-fartsy...so I guess it is in the eye of the beholder...Mark, I think I can lighten that shadow in CS3...good idea.

I suspect that Sharon will like this. Very nice job

Thank you very much. I used to do pencil drawings, and that was an effect I was hoping to achieve with photoshop....
