Some weeks ago I posted a photo called ‘Window Shopping‘ and it showed me looking out a window of a hotel we stayed in.
When I saw the prompt for April’s Sinful Sunday, I first checked whether my camera has a ‘soft focus’ setting, and it had, but then I decided: in stead of taking a new picture, I want to use a picture that has been posted before, and apply the soft focus to it, using Photoshop Elements. I was surprised that it’s very easy to apply a soft focus to an existing photo.

Lovely photo. I like the way the soft focus makes your skin seem to glow, but I like the sharpness of the first image as well. You have such a gorgeous bottom!
I loved this image the first time – as I love pretty much all of your images – and I love it again. The soft focus gives it a warm, inviting feel.
Very beautiful!
Beautifully done! it’s fun to play with filters 🙂

Both are beautiful but the original is my favourite, I get lost in the way your tattoo draws my eye down from your beautiful hair to your gorgeous bottom.
Loved it first time round . . . and love it still.
And I still love those shoes!!!

I always think you look great. These images are no exceptions. Love the heels.
You look amazing! xx
Both images are lovely. In the first I love the feel and the clarity of your beautiful latest tattoo which just “pops” off your body, the second creates a dreamy feel.

So beautifully dreamy and dreamily beautiful.
Both are lovely but I actually prefer the original of this image because you can see your tattoo much better and it is just so beautiful

Love both photos and I am so enamored with that tattoo. So lovely.
I loved this image the first time around but the soft focus really makes it more delicate and intimate somehow…it’s lovely! Xxx
Lovely shot, Marie! This photo draws me in and makes me want to know more – what are you thinking about, etc. Fantastic!
Love both images but agree with Sweet that second does have a dream like feel to it 🙂
Err, I thought it was my turn to distract you? 😉
Gorgeous, both soft version and normal. I love your tattoo too.
Oh to have been passing by the window and be looking up just as that pic was being taken…

It is fun experimenting with images isn’t it! especially naughty ones 🙂
Don’t you love photo editing tools? The soft-focus version has such a dreamlike quality, as if you are fantasizing while staring out the window.
