I wanted this to have almost a surreal look to it. I'm going for the artistic look that you might find with a children's book.

hehe - so people are distracted by the processing. Currently, I see a girl and her dog. Before processing, I saw a girl and a dog. I never knew distracting people could be such fun!!!

Niiiiice JOB, Michelle! The processing really works for this image. I think you got just the effect you were going for. It does look like a children's book come to life. I love it.
You got more courage than me, Michelle; I wouldn't have dared do this, though I actually think (of course!) that it OUGHT to be legal... Anyway, apparently it WAS validated, which delights me. Congrats on top 20 with this beguiling image.
Very nice setup/subjects and poses. Im sure many pics were taken to get this right. Very curious about pp doen here. subjects really look doll like and ads character to this pic. i love it
A little too processed for my taste. It's a beautiful image that loses much of its effect because the intense hipass stuff distracts me from the actual content.
This is a VERY well composed shot but it has a strange, almost over processed look (I suspect you used Neat Image) that, to my eye, is a bit distracting
I like the processing, I see you are enjoying the new basic editing rules. Might be cropped a little too tight for my own preferences. The end of her foot and tip of her head being cut off makes the frame seem cramped.
