An unsuspecting wife is subject to having her picture taken whilst asleep on our sofa :)
PP Steps:
-Converted from RAW using Nikon Capture 4.1
-Desaturated to B&W
-Imported into CS2
-Various Layer adjustments (Curves, Levels)
-Several USM passes at various settings
-Applied Lens blur to entire image to give it that 'dreamy' look & feel
-Cropped, resized for DPC
I'm hoping that this one scores higher than my recent submissions.

great shot, looks a little soft, and with a lack of contrast. this pose kindof scares me, i do not mean this bad, but she looks like she's in a coffin. that does not take away from my vote though. great job
I'm going to hope this was MEANT to look like it was taken from the inside of a casket. If not, be warned that this looks like a post-mortem shot--probably because the soft focus, her pillow and the background of the bed, not to mention the position of her hands, all remind me so much of a viewing of an open casket. Otherwise, this is a fine piece of work. 6 from me.
