    Put this pic through DAP, in Cezanne, portrait colours. Erased some features back in lightly for more definition.
    Finally put it through NIK Sunshine filter.
    Comments/Suggestions Appreciated!

    very nicely done Jackie.......happy and alert subject, very artsy.
    The hues blend well, great palette IMO. The color wash on the sweater is verrrrrry nice

    a couple things to try in DAP....if you have not already explored them.
    * Try the defocus mask in DAP. This is a prime candidate I think
    * I use high res 10mpx and set the first 1,000 or so strokes with a larger brush, then go down
    to 90% or so.....close to defaults. And near end maybe even down to 70% for some finer details
    * A light sandstone texture to simulate watercolor stock may give this a wee bit more

    But overall, this is really sweet

    Jackie, Looks like the Gerber baby! I really like the color tones and the soft painterly feel. I like that you brought back the detail in the eye. It really adds to the image. I'm interested to see Dave's suggestions.

    Well done, Jackie. I really like the effects used and agree with Denise about the eyes.
