Outstanding work Kasey! Can't say enough about it! Love the post processing. Great pose and expression! Great lighting! I'd give better than 7/7 if I could.

Thank you, John! I appreciate the advice and suggestions you gave me during the creation of this image, and for looking at all the versions before it! :) KW

very creative work here .I did try my hand @ this briefly,I hope no offense taken?i hope to see more postings from our central florida neighbors.

Very Well done

nice gently pretender :))))

Fairy-tale like interpretation. I like it.

Very creative. You take this one to another level.

Hey Sterling! Haven't we gone through the "Of course I don't mind your edit!" before? LOL! But, I can't see it very well! Do you have it bigger? I can see you took the edge off the hair... You know that fuzzy stuff that grows on things left underwater? That's what I was going for! Any suggestions?

 

Ellis, thank you! Still learning PS as I go! ;)

 

Anakin, thanks! This is my youngest daughter! She was playing in the bathtub and I 'saw' this image. :)

 

Cherlyn, thank you! I'm sort of obsessed with mermaids... :)

 

Bob, wow! What a compliment!! Thanks so much!! :D

Oops sorry only saved @ 200KB file since i knew I'd be uploading.You could still go into P.S. and view larger.All I did was use a combination of clone and blur Kasey.Nice work though and you'll get better.I guess I've become lazy in PS and don't submit PS images .

Very sweet and creative. In children's mind ( and in art) everything is possible)

A legendary execution Kasey, I like the imagination and creativiry of the theme.

 

 

I love it! You stepped up a notch with this one.Very cool!

I've returned to this photo a couple times. I keep thinking how much my little girl would love this on her wall. She's in that princess/mermaid/Dora stage of life. The colors and "flowing quality" of the capture are well done. I love the little glowing seahorse--a nice touch. Very sweet! Is this your little one?

I think a post proccessing work is never done and as time goes by you will always find something that you can go AHA I can tweek this or tweek that. This is just beautiful!! Wonderful and amazing. Having had the honor of seeing it up close for an hour I feel I know her so well. Didn't want to influence it to early so I come back here to make sure it goes OVER the 6/6 mark by giving it 7's ;) ~ it deserves higher as it takes days to do this sort of work!!

 

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! Now go get your name out there and make $200 a pop doing other kids babies ;) ~ YES! I am serious ;)

LOL!! I do appreciate the time you spent helping me with this image, Micki! You are absolutely right about the 'aha' moments, I've had a couple of those already. :) My parents went to Vegas, and while there they had one of those 'paste your heads on fantasy bodies' images done. It's horrid! You can see the green from the chromakey screen all around their heads. And yet, they paid a good bit for it! Amazing!

A beautiful and very original composition. The colors and feel are excellent. My taste is not generally towards software generated images, but I do like this very much.

Roger, I appreciate your comment very much! :) KW

This is fantastic. Great work. I think this might be one of your best. ~Danielle

Kasey jan, this ia amazing. you've no idea how much i like this photo. You've always been creative. well done azizam. 7/7

Paula, Pnina, Joe and Jeff. I sincerely apologize for missing your comments! I really do appreciate the time you all took to look at my image! And yes, Jeff, this is my youngest daughter, Sofie. She's just learned the fun of lying on her back in the bathtub!

 

Danielle, thank you! Don't expect this much work for every club submission! Ha!

 

Hossein jan, mamnoon! Shoma 'I am very flattered' ro be farsi chi migin? ;)

 

 

KC, you get better every single time you press the shutter!!!! Very creative!!!

LOL! Thanks, Steve! :)

Excellent touch of image, really. The layers you've merged here leave roughness on the edges-- although in this context it's an unbeatable upside. It helps to shape her out from the background; cropping and handling levels is done wonderfully.

 

Okay this is the second truly fascinating, or I say, quite a symbolic picture since the "In the air tonight". Both yield simplicity same way as Genius within. A child, pretending for a dream come truth, has something so divine... thank you for sharing anyway. Outstanding take on this.
