Once Upon a Time by olivetreeann

Once Upon a Time

Millie was made by my granddaughter Lucy and given to me as a gift. I'm going to assemble all the pictures I've taken of Millie this month in a book to give to her at Christmas. This will be the beginning shot. But I think I may rework it because I would prefer the skin on Lucy's face to be smooth.

Once upon a time there was a little girl who made a little mouse out of pom poms...
What a wonderful idea. I'm sure that the booked will be cherished

A splendid idea! And a great beginning of the book.

Very cool idea

love it

Awww. What a sweet story it’s going to be! I know she will love being the star of the book. I like your idea of smoothing out her face but leaving the rest of the texture there.

What a great photo and story Ann,
She will love it!

That will be a beautiful and lovely gift and book.\
Great pic. editing.

What a fabulous idea! Love the way she is holding it, cupped in her hands.

What a sweet idea.

the perfect picture to introduce your book.it would be a shame to loose this effect if you rework it - I wonder if you could just exclude the skin somehow. It will be a lot of work putting that book together but so worth it.

She will love her own personalized book, but I think you are right about the skin texture.

This is really a beautiful image and perfect for your concept.

Interesting editing. I agree with you though the skin on Lucy's face really needs to be smooth.

Beautiful photo, but I can see why you want her face to be more natural.

Good processing

Cute image, but I think you are right about the skin texture.

If you soften her skin this is a framer! 🥰

Thank you so much for all your views, comments and favs! I did rework the picture and although I liked the outcome, in the process I found another background I liked better for the beginning of the story. I will probably save this frame for the end with the traditional "and they lived happily ever after" closing- just like a story book fairy tale.

@ludwigsdiana Almost forgot to answer your question- I primarily used Smart Photo Editor for this one.

@olivetreeann thanks Ann :-)
