Nice photograph! what sort of post processing did you have to apply to it? what ISO was this shot at if you recall?

Thanks, A. I have an action set in Photoshop with gaussian blur applied with the history tool, quite effective to achieve softer skin appearance. I lightened overall and sharpened a bit. I enhanced the lashes and eyes by using dodge/burn. Shutter Speed 1/60, Aperture Value 4.5, ISO Speed 1600,
Lens 18.0 - 55.0mm, Focal Length 21.0mm
Thanks taking the time to check out my photo! #1322903

I can't think of a bigger honor than to receive a response from the judges, thank you so much! I captured this totally by accident. I sort of favor candid people shots so it was a wonderful surprise when I uploaded this. I don't even think the settings were appropriate for this shot but was glad to see it turned out. The "toy" I'm referring to in the title is my camera :) #1496825
