No One Else to Tell

I was at an old church to shoot a christening and decided to run up to the balcony for a better view and there was this little girl ! I stopped at the doorway and shot this with my 200 prime lens. It turned out to be my fav shot of the day. I later found her family after asking around and sent them a copy of the painitng in exchange for permssion to use the image as I please.
This was painted in Photoshop CS2

    Susi, this is truly a beautiful image. Already to have wandered off and found her sitting there with the rays reflecting off her was magical, but your post treatment has given it that Susiness that makes your stuff so awesome. This one`s going in my favs, and I`ve been way picky these days. Thanks for making me smile!
