My iTunes: Dieu, Qui Fit L'Homme A Ton Image from Gounod's Romeo et Juliette

I didn't expect this shot to turn out quite so well! I just snapped it over coffee at Starbucks after church on Sunday, and with a little editing, I have quite the shot. I'll attribute the real glamour and beauty of this capture to the lovely subject, my good friend, Kelley! I always look forward to our occasional morning coffee/chai dates (although now that Kelley has discovered she likes Starbucks' mint mocha frappuccino, we can both get coffee drinks!).

Two of the many things I have come to appreciate and love about Kelley is her kindness and her openness. Conversations with her hardly ever feel superficial, and she always has a kind and encouraging word to accompany her cheerful smile. I think it is appropriate that the TRA filter I used on this is entitled "Super Fun Happy."

One day, I'd like to do a whole photo shoot with Kelley -- she has some of the most beautiful eyes and eyelashes I've ever had the privilege of photographing!

Here ends my brief "Ode to Kelley" -- for now, at least, but perhaps it will continue tomorrow if I post the other shot that I snapped of her...

Your posts are a huge selling point for these actions. I don't even have CS3 yet. I've been using Photoshop Elements but it's just not going to cut it anymore. I'm going to bite the bullet and get CS3 and Lightroom (at the teacher discounted rate). Your image here is great. The edit work is fantastic. How bout those photoshop classes? Ha ha
