Portrait entry for week #35: "Lily contemplates her next move"

I processed this with the On One Effects plug in and I used a rather pronounced smoothing effect on the skin while simultaneously sharpening and brightening the eyes. The effect here was somewhat exaggerated and the result may be bit too weird. I just wanted to post something a little different.

I have stood within a foot or two of where you were for that shot. Must be a rite of passage when you go across the bridge.

Good morning! I've decided on my winners for the week.

For the landscape category, I am picking Jayson's 'Sunset on the Prairie.'
I love the colors and how well they all go together, great shot!

For the portrait category, I am going to go with jamsus's 'We all have that photogenic friend.'
I've always been a fan of candid shots, and this one was pulled off nicely.

Great entries by everyone else, looking forward to the next time I get to judge!

Thank you Dave and congrats Jamsus!

Thank you ^_^, I will not tell to my friend or his "ego" will grow dramatically!

I really loved the turtle shot!
