Love it!!

Tara:  YES AuntiePipsMom!  That is exactly wot we see.  All sparkly and sniffy!  Thank you.  They are very pretty and floaty.  Only problem is they don't want to bounce with me.  But I don't mind.  Cos they are lovely.

I've been struggling editing low quality mobile phone camera's and JPEGS for the past month...Not all camera mobile phone are the same as you might know. But when a worthy subject comes along it can be very difficult to get it looking correct with lower and /or missing pixels and quality...sometimes they just aren't "fixable"......

The next few edits to follow this one are mobile phone pictures....Will have to see how they turn out.

Think I am onto a method that works but it's not in my lessons as a one off treatment but rather I threw out the book yesterday and combined different methods to achieve a fairly good edit....It doesn't work for every case but I know now  these types of photos arent straight forward nor behave the same as a quality camera phone ...so my approach has to evolve as the photo calls for it.

What do you think?

Wow, you've done an amazing job Crystal. ?

I've just realised you've even managed to erase the date which was on the original... 

So happy your happy Julia...there's a few more things I could do with in to perfect it to my satisfaction and standards but I can do that any ole time....need to step back and hit the books for a idea for the leg that doesn't show as it's in deep shadow...Excellent learning piece, thank you for letting me play with it
