The Farmer's Daughter

Thanks to Sarah for saving me from total baldness by offering advice, finding the appropriate background, and helping with finishing tweaks! (Now to remember the shortcuts!!!)

Irene Burdell
Wow , this is really beautiful ,I love the aged look you have given the picture .
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
She’d just had dance classes – I couldn’t resist the ‘classic’ look so we rigged up a very dodgy sheet for a background, and fired off some shots – getting from an imagined image to the real thing then took quite a lot of trial and error! Thanks Irene for the kind words.
Philip Golan

chasingsooz
Beautiful title, textures, subject and composition. This work is timeless Rosalie.
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Hey Sooz – we also had attempts at silhouettes of “James Bond” type poses from Zoe – we had to stop – it was too much of a crack-up with an 18mth old ‘helping’ at the same time – that will have to wait for another day!! Lots of fodder for one of your hilarious narratives … !!!! Thanks for the honour of a favouriting … I am flattered.

So now also you understand why yourphoto of YOUR princessdid stand out for me
