Thankyou Rafi. You now understand that it is her. But as you can see I gave her an effect to remove her natural prettiness to enhance the fact that I was trying to portray feminity, an inner beauty and not necessarily the outer beauty. The flowers emphasize the softness of a woman. I have told you before, look into the picture, not at the picture, and you will see. An image is not necessarily designed to be pretty rather that it is to portray beauty of another kind.
I did actually upload an image of a more beautiful model straight after this image just for you, but it was accepted well by viewers so I removed it. Oh well.

I know now that this is your daughter, perhaps the one who commented on my "Variation d".
Give her a kiss from me for her wonderful comment on that photo.
Best regards,

Kurt, you surprise me. I thought you would've realised my way of thinking by now....LOL!! You got it eventually.
Now please don't try to say the title more than 3 times...you will just get all confused and your cat will think you have been on the catnip...

Judi, I've looked at this image several times over the last few days, but haven't commented until now. I think I needed to let the image sink in for awhile.
My first impression was that this is too dark, but now I realize it has to be like this. It is obviously all about softness with the blurred face, the delicate clouds, the rippled water effect and the flowers. But it would not express the true beauty of femininity if it were brighter, IMO. Part of the magic is the dark, mysterious, hidden, secret qualities that are woven into the fabric of female. These are the intangibles that have both captivated and frustrated males since the Garden of Eden! This composite is quite an achievement to be able to capture the wonderful paradox of femininity.
The only problem is that I've tried to say the title ten times fast, but I usually don't make it past three or four... lol Kurt

Thankyou Ameed. Mr Dolman wanted the subtler colours. It was Dr Rafi that wanted the prettier model. Yes this image did involve a lot of work. I did however submit another image last night with a prettier model but I ended up removing it.

Complicated picture, lots of efforts and lots of time spent on it, and it came out just perfect, i simply love it, i love the reflection, the composition, the effects, the background, and the side lite on Kita's face.
I've checked Mr. Doman's comment and there is nothing in it about a prettier model!! i am against that .. first i find her really pretty and fits just fine in here, and if i was the one doing this picture, i wont select a pretty model that steal all the attention and the visitor just passing by my work noticing nothing but the model.
Judi, some might love your work, some might find something that they don't agree with in your work, but there is something for sure, no one can pass by your work .. and not paying attention .. very well done and keep up the good work, regards,

Thankyou Stu. I kept both versions on file. I prefer the stronger tones also, but it just goes to show that everyone has different tastes.

Dear Judi,
I'm not offended, but even more sorry to have hurt your feelings about something so personal for you. You need not find something to please me unless you find it beautiful in your eyes also.
Your friend in any situation,

Yes Rafi, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Without offence to you, she is very beautiful to me and very feminine. She is my 7 year old daughter. I will try to aim for a more appealing model for you next time.

Sorry, Judi,
I have to agree with Mr. Dolman's comment. Furthermore, I would have chosen a more beautiful model, but as you say about another photo of yours, beauty is in the eyes of the of...
I can't be dishonest with you and I would not expect anything else from you either.
Thank you for your your lovely comment on my "What is the time 2". I did both. I kept my hands on the camera and took my wallet out of my pocket to buy Rachel a watch as a present for some occasion, I don't remember which, but she liked it very much. I'll post it sometime.
Best regards,
Rafi

Thankyou Abeer. I did use the feather tool. That is one tool I use the most. But, possible the effect I used on her has sharpened the edges more than necessary. I had kept her face soft intentionally, that part I can say.
I have adjusted the other areas as per your comment as well as reduced the colour as per Yannicks request and attached it for you. Hope you like it.

this is a creative picture and PS work
But
the face is too blure and harsh
it can be noticed that u did not use the feather function while cropping the face its to strong on the borders
i wish u can re do it again and enhance the small issues and am sure it will be superb work

Hallo Judi. Dein Photo ist sehr schön.
Besonders die Reflektion im Wasser gefällt mir.
Aber ich hätte die Blumen nicht so fest coloriert. Doch alles in allem ist es ein sehr schönes Photo. Gruss Yannick.
