This is stunning. I read your notes on the story behind this and the amazing process you went through to achieve the amazing and beautiful effect. This is truly a beautiful picture. I wish I had a six.

I like your technique of leaving the subject in striking colors and the background in its more gentle mixed form. The entire scene keep me interested.

Very creative and very pretty. Ilove the way the photo looks. Your story brings a new meaning to the photo after reading it. Very lovely photo. Nice colors and the little girl's eyes seem to look right through you.
