You're welcome and thank you. I was trying for a soft look but got worried that it might be a little to pale.
I was fun to work on. Great photo.

Hi Carolyn  ;) ;)

Thank you very much for the two lovely versions. I like the soft-focused look that you have given them. Really pretty colouring! Very much appreciated  :D :D

It is amazing how nearly all of you decided that the lady's skirt should be blue!! Do you know something I don't??  (Nah, don't answer that!!)  ;D ;D ;D ;D

All of the pictures posted on this thread are so lovely - even more amazing considering the low dpi  of the original! I am really thrilled with them all.

Thank you all again, Judy  ;)
Best wishes, Judy :-))
