Thanks for your comments on this first "manipulated" protrait...

Dos it give the feeling of happiness???

At first looking upon the thumbnail, I would say "yes", it does give a feeling of happyness. But now, I look at her eye and it seems to tell a different story. I'm not sure why, it just doesn't seem infitting, like something has just came to her mind. I'm not sure.

One thing for sure, if the exposure was spot on, we would be able to read the expression more clearly. The blown highlights remove a lot of the detail on the face, which is a shame, as apart from that I really love this photo. It's the sort that's filled with memories that will come rushing back to you in 10 years or so. Definately a keeper.

Keep up the great work.
