Innocence

Completed in watercolor on Bristol.

EDIT: I liked the soft background effect yet felt eh colors needed to be closer to the original and not blended so much. I tweaked a bit in Photoshop and came up with this. I am happier with the picture now!

This is my entry for the pin-up contest for the club

My camera's battery died and so I had a pic that was darker than it should have been. (Should have known from previous snaps...) Anyway, the background is stark white but this is a result of the photo and a little bit of manipulation in HP Photo Imager. I liked the effect and felt the softened quality added to the picture. Hope you agree! I will someday submit a pic that is more accurate to the original and upload for sale as a print.
