I haven't posted to Trek for awhile, because I've been busy being a new mommy! We traveled to China in February to adopt our beautiful daughter, Melia. She is 15 months old, and she's bringing so much joy to our lives!

I turned her loose today in a large flower garden, and despite her constant movement, I managed to capture some nice photos of our little darlin'. Yup, I'm a proud new mom!!!

Duplicated the original and played around with Gaussian blur at 10 px in soft light blend mode @ 25% Opacity.

Flattened then duplicated a 2nd time, ran gaussian blur at around 10px in screen blend mode. Tweaked the "blend if" slider to chieve the diffused glow look.
