This subject is my beautiful Daughter. We were playing around in

last years Halloween costume. She truly is my angel. Anyway. I

added a texture and a matte effect in Adobe Photoshop Elements

11. I was going for a kind-of Victorian-ish feel. I'm not sure if I

accomplished that. Any Critique is welcome and appreciated. Thanks

in advance.

I think you achieved the Victorian-ish feel you were after. I really like the tilt of her head and her blue eyes. A very beautiful photo. 

Very suitable caption!

Best regards, Verlinda!

This is a nice portrait quite emotive with a nostalgic touch, the eyelashes have been overdone it would've looked better all natural. She's got presence and her glance is far reaching. Beautiful image.

She is absolutely beautiful, the light is very pretty, her expression is full of life, and the composition is nice. I even like the post processing effect. Just for me, though, I find the eyes a bit over-processed and feel like she's wearing a bit too much makeup. I think the ethereal quality would be stronger without those things. However, it is a lovely image of a beautiful girl.

All the best!

I couldn't agree more about the make up. over the years I've taken so many photos of her that Sometimes a little game of dress up is in order to get her in the spirit. Its almost like a bribe. This type of image was not my goal when I was putting the make-up on her.  The only processing I did on the eyes was a sharpening. was it too much? She just has some killer baby blues that do amazing things in photographs. Thanks so much to everyone.
