Default My mom and daughter in B&W.

I added a soft focus in PSP to give it a softer feel for the shot. Don't know if it works or not, but I know you guys will let me know. Thanks for looking!

That's a treasure shot, Jamie. One of the best of its kind I've seen. I'm sure Grandma's in love with it!! The PP work is perfect for that shot! TFS

AH Jamie, what a lovely image, you should be very proud of it and yourself. This is a lovely image and I really like the gentle amount of editing you have done in it, not too much to over do it but enough to make it stand out. Well done on producing a lovely image and thank you for sharing this precious moment with us.
God Bless.
David.

A lovely photo. I read here once that b/w conveys emotions...this really proves that rule correct. Your mom will be thrilled. This is a very classy work.
