So fitting a title for so beautiful a frame.  (I'm listening to this very piece performed by Jon Gillock.)

Then the initial portrait by the pond could be titled "Les eaux de la grâce"?  ;)

Nope. Highly polluted by disinfectants.

I like it.  Pleasant, low contrast tones.

Thanks Keith. Indeed, the tones cost me some effort in PP (her right arm was too dark, as if it were "not part of her"). Still not an expert in photoshopping; most of the time LR does the job but not here.

My usual recipe for such shots is slight reduction of clarity (-15 in LR) and the equivalent of a red or orange filter to homogenize skin color and attenuate blemishes, still very far from "shrinkwrapping".

Thanks Viv. Then you should try the assorted music (see Akira's message)
