 How many takes does it take to get an Ice Cream drop to work successfully. I don't know. LOL. But, this was the best I could get in several takes after making a poor little child watch lump of strawberry icecream after lump fall on to the grass we were standing on. Simple editing. Levels repaired, Saturation increase, some dodge and burn on salient features and clothing areas. Cloned out a telephone wire behind her and a few strands of hair over her right eye. Selected the area completely around her moved it to a separate layer and used blur to mesh it a little bit better--this effect also had the benefit of pulling out stray locks of hair. Combined the layers back together and voila. I hope. Either that or "gong". LOL.
