What do you mean by 'bleach the colors'? I have not heard that term before. Is that a plug in or desaturation?

I bleach the colors a bit and used LucisArt "whyeth" filter plug-in .Not much PP on this one.

This reminds me so much of the Norman Rockwell look Lonnit did in the past & couldn't remember what she did to achieve it (I still remember it as one of my favorites). Could you please share the post processing of this one?
Just gorgeous!
Thanks for sharing your talent here!

Gorgeous and much-admired image! You have done more in one year than most can do in a lifetime. An artful eye, great subjects and total control over PS has resulted in this marvelous work. (I wish you lived in my neighborhood. LOL) shu

This is great work...the style of the photo and the pp go hand in hand. I like the thoughtful yet content happy feeling portrayed on the girl's face, combined with the playfulness of the puppies. Hard to beat such a perfect capture. jano

Now that is interesting, your background in photography Elena. There's nothing wrong in giving away your work. You are building up a portfolio, trying things out without the pressures and constraints of commercial needs... I think that is to the good.

But you do obviously have a talent and eventually I hope you move into the Galleries and portrait studio. At your own time, at your own pace. On your schedule.

(actually talent is too weak a word, but you know what I mean.)

Best Wishes, Traveller

Oh, smack me hard! You've got more raw talent than the rest of us combined! There are some very excellent photographers here, but you are truly an artist. Is it in your blood - do you come from a long line of photogs? BTW, who is this girl to you? She seems to be an always-available model. LOL! Those are convenient things to have! And while I'm here, I'll reiterate... Gaaawd, this is goood! ~ Lonnit

ONE year!!! Your work is so incredibly good, Elena...we need to find you an agent or something, because photography should provide you with a livelihood (if that's what you want, of course).

You must be jocking Lonnit!My current status is a year in photography (and I still have to read about f-stop). I am giving all my work away for free .

Perfection! DAMN, you're talented!! What's your background with photography and your current status? I hope you're making a fortune with it because you've certainly got the top-notch goods! ~ Lonnit

Now this is art. The post processing is very subtle and tasteful. Love the freckles as well.
