Thanks much. Yes they are great friends, my daughter and a little girl she has known for almost as long as they have both been alive.
It was an extremely complicated process, that I worked on for days. Far too complex to describe in a few sentences. (It wasn't any actions)
Jules, the expressions on their faces are just wonderful...and I like the effect you've used on the scene. What did you do here? I likewise appreciate the "harmonious" aspect of the scene too...it exudes a genuine feeling of friendship. MFC
