Looked really pretty but not very realistic. Speaking of the Atlanta Seminar on PJ...is anyone going this year...I am debating on going or not. Now photographers gets fired for not even doing that much to a photo...times they have sure changed. I think we all did the 4 -corner burn on B&W photos to make the subject read quicker.
