Ok.... no food today, something different, I thought I should post something else before a big protest against my food shots...:P lol.... kidding!

I took this photos a loooooong while ago... is the daughter of a friend of ours, she was 14 that time, we were at the beach of Bethells... as usual, I have my camera with me everytime when I go out. so here is one of the shot I took for her. After I download it, I thought I make something that suit to 14 years old, so in Adobe photoshop cs, I used the stamps and created all this "floral and butterfly"

I love playing with this kind of effect, some other photo I did with "fairies light" or "fairies" of cos those are for little kids, they just love it!

What a stunning photo you presented here of this young lovely looking lady.
Excellent work you made of it.
Kia ora from Jan

Hi Sweety
no coffe today? no food? :)))
I liked those shots, I still like them :)
Wonderful new approach. Great PP work.
I like the tones and textures in it too.
Congrats!
Have a lovely day dear friend.

ps: jealousy and passion in perfect harmony - only when we are talking about colors :)))

Hi Sweety - I love the underlying photograph and I'm impressed with the pp work you have done here. It's not necessarily to my tastes, I think there's a little too much - but I do appreciate the work you've done, so full marks :-)

I think the underlying photograph would be pretty strong in its own right - the b/w conversion, the pose, the expression and the grain - all excellent!

Hi Sweety, I think it looks great and very arty.

Love the look you created here - very inspiring.

Hi Sweety,
Firstly, congratulations for a cleverly written tittle, and secondly a creative artwork matched to tittle.
B/W choice works well here.

Hi Sweety
A "little kid" she does not appear to be! She looks very grown up in this photograph.
It's a great base photo you've captured; even with your adjustments attention is drawn into her face.
The graininess of the shot, the conversion to b&w and the contrast all work very well, because without your PP it's a girl walking along the beach with her towel, but with the PP it is a photo full of freedom and mystery.
Great work
Rew

Bonjour Sweety
Très bon traitement noir et blanc et jolie présentation de cette photo, c'est très artistique

I just love the image of the young lady, Sweety and the PP work makes it look like she is behind a patterned, sheer curtain. Very nice effect indeed. I like the grains a lot. This is really pretty. I wonder how the same thing would look in colour? Excellent work.
Warm Regards

Hi, Sweety!

Charming model, with interesting idea. Excellent realisation. Superb!

jazmin

Hello Sweety
I see you where able to find away around the paw brush! Good idea. I really love what you did with this photo. Your effect gives it a dream like look...

Tricia

Hello Sweety! My deep, sincere compliments on the way you processed this picture. It's magical, as if it was taken out of a fairy tale or a dream. Almost surreal. Thank you for sharing the picture and the tecnique. All the best!

I suppose I shouldn't say this about a fourteen year old, but I have to agree with korbee. This is a very erotic shot ... one of the best I have ever seen. And as Janone said, how did she look when she turned 18? Would love to see that.
I think you caught a great moment - parted lips, closed eyes, the towel in her hand, the fingers ...
I would like to see the original photograph, since this is heavily post processed. I guess all of us should include the original as WS in such cases. I think it would have been a fine image even without the PP.
I particularly like the grain, more than the stamps. It looks as if she is disturbed by the butterflies which appear as her new-awakened sexuality.
Excellent work, Sweety.

ithink this is wonderful work
The mood of the slowelly passing by wind, the mood written on her face, these stamps of butterflys, everything fantastic works together!
Excellent done picture ( between your food shots, between amazing coloures of sunrise and sunsets ..this one so b&w, but keeps unusual mood inside) ..
bravo,Sweety
