I love how the floating scarf takes on the texture of wood grain...or marbled paper. It's like getting a 2 for 1 in the deal...very nice.

I think the use of the overlay works very well in the photo to convey the magical effect that you were going after. Certtainly holds your attention in the frame and makes you want to look more into what is going on in it. The positioning of the girl amongst the grass is a very nice, typical sleep position you see photographed often. nice job composing the frame as to have some verticals and diagonals created by the grass without having the grass as a distraction away from your image.

The processing is real nice on your shot, I like the muted pink dress amongst the desaturated grass, It draws your attention right to the subject. Great job merging the overlay into the photo, you kept it very nice and clean.

In my opinion, The only thing that I would say would be missing to take this from a daydreaming shot to a pixie shot would be a set of pixie wings for you subject. I think if you had that it would be perfect.

this one is great, I feel like I could reach out and grab his hairs. Great black and white processing too!

Your overlays bring to life some of the bokeh that is hidden in the original. Another wonderful portrait.

wow charlie .. i really like this .. so unusual .. the colours are excellent too ..
i think if you wanted to have your daughter undistorted maybe you could start with the photograph of her .. bring the overlay/texture in, but first duplicate the background layer in the photog of your daughter .. highlight the background layer so the overlay/texture layer comes in between them and then you'd have the overlay as an underlay .. underneath the duplicated layer of your daughter .. ??
i'm not sure if this makes any sense and if i've got wot you've done right .. but thought i'd just chuck that in .. :)
