Wonderful portrait, Donna, the effects look great! #2154881Donna La Mattino Pagakis December 05, 2005
Thank you Brian, Ronald, Terry E., Cathy, Sandra, Tammy, Terry H., and Deb for your great comments. Beckie looks so grown up in this photo. It's amazing how fast they age!! I used multiple filters to create this effect, it appears to be the buzz effect but I haven't been able to get that one to work on my computer. Thanks again!! #2155062Kristi A. Howson December 05, 2005

What a striking portrait is this Donna! Absloutely awesome!! Gorgeous indeed!! #2162324Donna La Mattino Pagakis December 07, 2005
Thank you Kristi, Goshka, Jenny, Dan, Wende and S.P. for your wonderful comments. I love to experiment and am pleased with the results of this photograph. The lighting was beautiful that night, it was taken with natural light at dusk. I got lucky because my daughter doesn't like me to take her photo as much as she used too! That is the reason for the intense expression. Anyway thanks for taking the time to support my work!! Take care!!! #2163379Laura Clay-Ballard December 09, 2005

Donna, your daughter is such a beauty, and the effects are wonderful! I didn't even know they were effects when I saw the thumbnail...not until I saw the larger photo. Very well done.
