From the PP Side Challenge - this is MinsoPhoto's lovely image

First I cloned out the shoulder strap of the dress. Opened in Portrait professional (don't use this often, but it's quick and effective if used gently). Adjustments made really only to the eyes and the colour of the lips.

Next a layer in Nik Color Efex Pro using Dynamic Skin Softener ( I find it more subtle than using Portrait Professional) and a cross processing preset at low opacity.

A slight crop and Bob's your Uncle!

I have to confess to really liking this one to work on. I ended up with several versions, including a black and white.

I also liked this version

Yes I agree a very nice edit. Wish I could produce these kind of results. I DO like both, but for me its the color version that really sings.
