Wow that looks great. I do not think I would have ever thought of that idea from the original. Hope you are printing and framing.

That is amazing. Like Michelle, I would never have given the original a second glance.

Trust me--I didn't think of it at first either. The picture was one my niece e-mailed me. It wasn't very good quality and had very rough edges. I keep requesting close up pictures because I'd like to practice photo retouching. I was trying to make this one a close up. I started trying to smooth the edges around her face when I realized it was starting to look almost like a pastel. That's when I decided to smudge.
Thanks for your comments.

I noticed that picture in your gallery and thought it was beautiful. Now that I know how it started, I've really impressed! Great work...

Su that is great. I actually see it as perfect photo for the porcelain effect. I love that effect on close-ups.

Su,
You get the Smudger Award!  You did an amazing job, it does look like a pastel. I love it!

Su, that is wonderful. Is there a tutorial on that? I have only used the smudge tool for blurring out backgrounds I don't like.
