About the Image(s)
With the background image, I used the stamp pattern tool and a creative brush to finish the background. The background was overlaid on the original. I cropped the image and finished with the gradient layer adjustment. I also used a layer mask to bring some detail back into her face.

Lovely and thoughtful portrait-the layered effect adds a dreamlike, almost ethereal quality that invites the viewer to linger. The subject's gentle expression and soft pose complement the texture overlay beautifully. The black and white treatment is a strong choice here, enhancing the emotional tone and giving the image a timeless feel. If anything, you might experiment with slightly reducing the opacity of the overlay around the face to bring just a touch more clarity to the subject's features. Overall, really artistic and well executed! Posted: 04/02/2025 10:56:24
