f/2.8, 1/320s, Tamron 28-75mm XR Di, 160 ISO. These are my grandaughters and their cousin. I told them to look serious! LOL! Craigs Actions applied.

Very pretty...Love the effects you've done. #337717Janine Russell November 03, 2005
Jim, very nice portrait with great effects. They don't look very serious to me :) #2032843Kelly S. Andrews November 03, 2005
Beautiful! I like the bold blue colors in this and the playful mood - not too serious for sure! I like the effects too - can you explain a little more what actions you took? #2032932Jim Kinnunen November 03, 2005
Thanks Brianne, Janine and Kelly!:) Kelly, I used two of Craigs Actions which are plug-ins for PS. One was ColorOver Soft and one was Illustration Soft. You can adjust the effects and the colors as you go. Illustration Soft is available as a free sampler. I really like it. #2032977Carla Metzler November 03, 2005
One way to get a smile is to tell them to be serious...smart move, Jim! :) This is really a very beautiful image, but then, so are the girls. Wonderful work! #2033024Nobu Nagase November 03, 2005
