Beautiful Edwardian Lady

This lovely photo of a young lady from the early 1900s is just begging for some creative portrait interpretations.

Gave her a little color, removed a few things and made a focal point. Finished up with a simple frame.

I'm just starting to some painterly looks and really don't know what I'm doing.
I love this old photo. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Beautiful Edwardian Lady

i like this picture. had to have a go. this is more a restoration and colorization rather than photo art, but hey, what the heck. i'll probably use this for more later
