Thank you , Raymond and Radu .

I like the high key back ground.. How did your process the high key to achieve that soft gray white tone almost like a pencil drawing.. I am very interesting in trying that method of a graphic design.. This is a well done image Bill Really well don and you have a skill I do not know how to achieve.. MJ

MJ. Many thanks for your interest . Basicly , I dragged the two images onto a new white file , Transformed to size and positioned them . I used a Layer Mask to knock out the background and any bits I didn't want .I then Desaturated the rear image and used a low opacity brush on a mask to soften and get the lost and found edges .

I will email you a full breakdown .......... If I can !

I can see I have a lot of catching up to do on your porfolio William.  Never enough time in one day. But I toured a bit and found you do quite well.  This one in particular, Im very sorry I missed, as it is quit beautiful. The way you described to MJ as to how you achieved  your end result is a processI have yet to learn. I know nothing about maskes and I'm sure they are not that hard.  Lovely light and skin tones, just lovely, sincerely, Gail

Thank you Gail . I'm surprised that you don't use layer masks on your creations . If you Email me your postal address I will send you a " how to " DVD . Regards , Bill

This one has to be my favorite so far, the skin tone and the back ground are absolutely fantastic. Chantel is adorable!!!  Warm regards my friend.
