So here is the deal. This is a rework of an old image because I just got a new program to edit portraits with and I have always loved this photo of my daughter Abi but was never totally happy with the original edit. There you go…...I am having so much fun playing right now :)

Johnny take a walk with your sister the moon
Let her pale light in to fill up your room
You’ve been living underground
Eating from a can
You’ve been running away
From what you don’t understand…
Love
She’s slippy
You’re sliding down
She’ll be there when you hit the ground
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
She moves in mysterious ways
Johnny take a dive with your sister in the rain
Let her talk about the things you can’t explain
To touch is to heal
To hurt is to steal
If you want to kiss the sky
Better learn how to kneel
(on your knees boy)
She’s the wave
She turns the tide
She sees the man inside the child
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
Lift my days, light up my nights
One day you will look…back
And you’ll see…where
You were held…how
By this love…while
You could stand…there
You could move on this moment
Follow this feeling
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
We move through miracle days
Spirit moves in mysterious ways
She moves with it
She moves with it
Lift my days, light up my nights

David Murphy
my word, she is such a pretty lass, Shells…....a real beauty!!

Peter Hill
Nice work Shelly. I like that the nose line is still defined, subtly, but it’s there rather than disappearing in the softness.
Sue Nueckel
Just beautiful Shelly
Rosemary Scott
She’s stunning isn’t she! did you end up going with portrait professional?? The skin looks sublime :))
Shelly Hiebert replied
Portrait Professional 9 is what I went with. It may be a little over the top but I’m ‘just learning’ right now lol :) It sure does cut out a lot fiddling around, at least for me! Thanks Rosemary :)
Nathalie Chaput

Hey Shelly, this is very good! It just looks very polished, the skin teenage girls would die for!! LOL !! And it still looks like your daughter, and looks very professional at the same time! Looks like it is not a bad program after all, depends how you use it, and you did really well! :-))
