Jdu, cheers for you comments, trust me, if your refering to the "Pbase Faces" you would not want to see the original LOL, it's truly hideous, *he cringes* hence the softening.
I know waht you mean when you can over do someting, on this occasion i thought it was fitting, and many others, like yourself are seeing and commenting exactly what i wanted to get across. Thanks again. All constructive criticisms is accepted gladly, if your not told, then you wont know :-)

Hi Simon,
I like your interpretation of the theme and the soft glow effect works very well here. It gives a kind of timelessness to the image and enhances the reflective mood. I may be wrong, but judging by your portrait, you seem to have a soft spot (pun intended ;o)) for this effect. It will have more impact for me if I see it applied only to that occasional special shot like this one.
Cheers, John

Thank you all, I'm most honored to have such praise heaped on what i thought to be just a mediocre shot, just goes to show, one mans junk is another's treasure.

Stepping out of the "box" in interpreting the challenge word, plus the notched perspective that draws the eye to an infinity in the centre, makes this a thought-stimulating entry. - Dennis

I like the contemplative and peaceful mood in this picture. Well done, dsl.

Cheers Niamh, a little USM, a little +contrast plus my secret weppon (not so now) an action called Dave's Ethereal Glow. I must admit, i have this shot in B&W but was unsure if it lost detail in the pp.

I rather like this. The diffuse glow (?) and soft greens help create the "timeless" feel which makes the challenge theme come across clearly. What post processing did you do?
