It's particularly difficult to scan if your objective is to remove the patterned finish from your image, but I rather like the feel of the image. I agree, a very elegant portrait - I can imagine her stepping strait into a chauffered limousine and being sped away.Brett Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706734864792449845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099530921726743492.post-29440610651306738792013-05-25T08:53:02.279+10:002013-05-25T08:53:02.279+10:00All those generations!
