a fantastic image .. i love the darkness and her posture .. the hands, just seen in her hair, give this a sort'v emotive quality .. like someone in pain .. the darkness contributes to the whole feeling ... that's just my take of course .... just wonderful ..:)

you are THE photoshop man .. sometimes when i look at your work i'm not sure if something was in the original photograph or you added it .. these balls are exactly the sort'v thing i'm talking about .. i cant imagine you got your captured frog to hold still long enough to put a ball on his head .. and wot an ugly frog!!! .. very different to the one's we have around here .. anyway, wotever you've done totally works .. a great image and funny too !! :)

love it judy .. the texture really adds to the overall effect .. altho i havent seen the original !! .. love that background concrete .. i get a very similar look to your border using layer style/inner shadow ... its great coz you can play around with different thicknesses and opacities and colours and you can add noise too .. the thing is, if you merge that inner shadow layer down with the one underneath it you lose the noise .. :)

yes i'm having problems with my sensor being dirty too .. i'm too scared to clean it myself, altho i'm sure i'll get over the fear real soon .. not wanting to shoot above f11 at a clear blue sky or wotever will be the motivator .. lol ..
seriously tho .. excellent photograph .. love the texture you've used, it gives this an old fashioned feeling .. well to me anyway .. i can just imagine some women with those long dresses carrying umbrellas strolling past the photographer .. the photographer seems to have stepped back in time .. :)
