Girls just want to have fun ... !
Meg had fun posing, and Nanna had fun with the processing!
Created with two photos and a few layers. Extracted the background from the legs, desaturated the colours, overlaid a photo of a texture and blended the background image through.

Like a modern day Rockwell (well a sort of similarity). Great image and use of the colour and lines
