Photo of a group of leaves. Applied a texture/frame layer. Converted to BW. The woman's face is from a group of Pre-Raphaelite brushes that I applied in a duplicate layer, then erased around it, adjusting the opacity to be faint and almost ghost-like.
Nifty border, I like it that it seems a bit askew. I LOVE the womans face in the highlights, gives this a totally different feel that the leaves alone would for me.
JUST HAD TO OPEN THIS .. mouth still burning .. !!
ITS BRILLIANT .. and once again you've taken me back in time .. wonderful processing judy and fantastic vision .. :)
I almost missed the woman, but now I don't understand how I could have. She looks ... pure. Milky white face. I'm betting she has a whole collection of parasols.
Interesting how you created a foggy morning sort of effect. I think that part of what makes this work is that the light on the face appears so different from the light in the rest of the image.
