I read the discussion about the soft focus - original vs processed with filter. Thanks to fotomann_forever for his post in forum on how to create soft focus image without processing. I used my breath on UV filter to create misty effect.

I think result still carries sharpness (or feeling of it) of original image (I guess original was sharp). to me addition of some artistic filter layer would make it better.
