Re: Creative Portraits: Woman carrying a suitcase

These beautiful portraits.

I adjust watercolor filter and rich color in Photoshop elements 3.

I did not have watercolor plugins.

Thank you

I just had practice to edit photo in Fotosketcher is great program but I do not know how to reduce photo's KB then I post link here. http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/6...womancarrh.jpg

I cannot upload attachment photo because of
