This is my 3 year old daughter. She was wandering around the house today with a turtle visor on upside down and sunglasses on. She was also carrying around a bag full of play food along with her doll which she put down for a nap. I thought she looked so cute and funny I had to take a picture of her. This was a miracle capture because usually when she sees the camera come out she won't hold still. I got lucky today!

Assuming Cartesia is your daighter's name - I love that! :) You created a pretty cool effect here as well. 3 is a golden age for children - especially girls - you are blessed!
Your daughter has a pretty name ;) I like the processing it takes an ordinary photo and turns it into something unusual. I bet your daughter likes it too!
I wonder how it would look if you masked in a few details from the original ..... like her eyes, contents of the bag, not sure what else. Hehe .... this is going to be a great challenge, lots of interesting ideas to play with.
