After I cropped it, I applied a filter by Flaming Pear called "Melancholytron". I was concerned about the vignetting, but SC consensus was "legal".
I love the way the random settings on the filter turned it into such an old looking photo.

I hope people won't complain about the soft look too much. The original is very sharp, but the filter applied that wonderfully gentle, soft look.

For me, this is a bit too soft, but you did succeed in giving a feel of anitquity with the dress and jewelry.

I think the focus is a little too soft, the hair appears blurred.

Very pretty shot. The soft focus/blurring might be getting very close to too much, but it does work well in general with this image.

Nice smile :) A charming portrait. I like the softness and darkening of the corners, but the burning does look a bit odd at some points on her blouse.

Interesting effect with the varying softness. I think her face is a little too stark in amongst it, however. 6
