 I had processed this the night before rollover but forgot to write down my processing steps. I liked my first version better as to more controlled highlights. Can't remember what I did exactly and can't duplicate it. :-/

So...I reworked it tonight (Tuesday before rollover) so I could document my editing steps. It's close, but not quite the same. Oh well...

Nice picture, the flowers in front of her face made me focus there instead of on other pretty areas

A bit overexposed to my eye, but rather magical at the same time.

Seems to be too many bright colours up front, distracting from the subject.
