I can see some message about fleeting childhood due to the lensbaby blur, so I'm good with the lensbaby! And that patch on the bum, what an adorably sweet image!

Kellie is a very fortunate woman, not only because she is headed off on a long holiday that will include a happy union, but becaue she has a wonderful friend like you! Lovely image and story.

Well, images that are gorgeous to begin with often don't require much processing :-) What you did here is fantastic!

I actually like the image, but I do like it in color better. If you have Color Efex Pro try running the Tonal Contrast filter?

All I can do is echo what others have said; you kick butt with your candids and the processing is fabulous!

Great looking shot! I love the guy's shadow perfectly aligned on the column, that is VERY cool. Excellent processing as well. I was on the fence too about dropping $200 for Silver Efex Pro; had a few cool presets but I couldn't justify the $$. Then I discovered how to adjust the presets past the obvious brightness, contrast and structure controls; WOW how worth it! Play with the film types and stylizing controls; you can adjust amount of grain, the color tone, vignetting, so many cool things. I bought it last week :-)

Oh brr! I imagine a female double agent having to meet with her contact, so she has offered to take her neighbor's dog for a walk to give her an excuse to be walking through the park in horrible weather...:-)
