 So I get one of the cutest images ever with Batgirl inspecting the new plants, and I discover that I had left the ISO at 800 so the image was totally washed out...AARRGGH! So, nothing to do but slap some overlays on and hope for the best :-)

Processing:
Color Efex Pro midnight filter
Color Efex Pro glamour glow filter
Scratchy window overlay (here) multiply mode, 60% opacity
Combine all to new layer
Color Efex Pro cross processing (L08, washes everything out and give a faded yellow tone that I love)
Another layer found (I can't yet find the link, but it's a gold wall by Andrea Rusky), overlay mode 40% opacity
Resize and add border by extending canvas size

It came out okay, but I sure wish the image was exposed properly so I didn't have to gunk it up like this :-)

This turned out great! I have more fun processing my 'not so good' images than I do the ones that are 'good'.

This is soo sweet. One of those fortunate mishaps, I'd say. The soft glowy blur is gorgeous.

Maybe if you let it 'rest' for a while, you will see how lovely it really is. (& choose a different frame, maybe). Not what you had in mind, but sometimes the fickle finger of fate stirs your coolaid in unexpected ways.

I really like the soft blurred feel. Hmmmm - not sure about the frame. I think one of your funky old paper ones would look GREAT here. :~)
