I am so happy with the way this turned out I just had to share this before and after here, even though it's on the 366 blog...

You did a great job on that, Amanda

Amanda, that looks great. What did you do?

Thank you!

I adjusted levels, did a gradient map, and then ran the Virtual Photographer B/W Glamour, lighting effects flashlighg, used the 4 point star brush to add the 2 accents.

I think that's all, didn't expect it to come out like it did, but I really LOVE it. was thinking about recreating (forgot to save the large file) and print to frame for my bedroom.

Amanda, it would be beautiful framed.

Edit came out really nice.

Oh, Nice work Amanda!

Yes, Amanda, it's really gorgeous! I was admiring it on your 366 Photos blogsite. You should be very proud of how it came out.

Thank you everyone!
