I could n ot come up with a clever name...

Anyway, here is the After:



And here is the B4:



How I did it:

1. Cropped photo
2.duplicated the layer twice
3. second duplication used the screen mode
4. then merged down (the second duplicated layer was selected)
5. then duplicated that layer and added a glaussian blur at 24.2 and used the Multiply mode
6.flattened image
7. Bumped up the contrast to +86
8. Smudged part of the background
9. Then cloned in the rest using the smudged bits

Almost like an Orton effect. Liek the dreamy look it has now. You turned an every day image into something interesting! well done

I am enjoying your work! I, too like the dreamy look you gave it, and the bright pink really pops out against the darker background. I really like it.
