 This was taken of my wife Amy, before we were ready to go out to dinner. I did some color editing inside of Photoshop CS. There were no filters applied, it simply was a few layers with gaussian blurs and a dark blue overlay to get this photo.

There is a lot of interest in this portrait, but it looks overprocessed to my eye; it would work better for me with less softness, perhaps.

Interesting idea but I think a more heart felt or somber expression from the model would add power to this mood piece.

Not a big fan of the soft focus and blue oversaturation. Sorry.

Too much softness for me. Neat image or what ever...I don't care for that look. Technically this is a good shot I'm sure and would love to see the original without the soft affect. The blue is done well.
