Default My favourite Portrait

This is a portrait showing love between father and daughter-a last goodbye-(I just used the pop-up flash on my nikon D50 with 18mm-55mm kit lens) The man died the next morning-I gave it an etherial look with a white vignette, like this:

Create an ellipse/square selection around subject, using Marquee tool
Select> Inverse
Press D and X to get either black or white
Feather radius 250 pixels
Edit> Cut

That sure is a fine portrait and the background story really makes this even very moving. Given the background story, I like the beautiful smiles you have captured.
