Lovely happy face Maghann has, she obviously enjoys her photos being taken, its a good close up Maria, and good black and white too. Best wishes Trixie

Good mono shot! Beautiful girl with a warm smile! Did you despeckle the skin, Maria?

Her inner light just shines through in this shot, wonderful, and nice smooth tone PPing

I couldn't say nicer than Jim. I fully agree with him and I think that you did well when you tried out the tools that you haven't tried before. The result is perfect.

What a joyful shot! I like the slanted composition, Maria. A professional friend of mine does this so naturally. I can't get it right!
Best wishes,

Andrew

Hi Nezih, i used a retouch up tool to get rid of any blemishes and a soft focus tool to soften the skin and then a paint tool to bring out the eyes and the mouth area, i don't use photoshop so i use what i have and hope for the best, thank you for your lovely comment.

Wow, she is beautiful, and the contrasting slant and cheerful face makes for a lovely and memorable capture!
