"You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.� ~ Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869-1948)
My daughter Kyra at the base of a Baobab tree. I duplicated the image to a new layer and converted it to B&W; then erased out the blossom in her hand so that the color version beneath showed through. A little mirroring was done on the left to extend the trunk a bit. Please view full size for the best detail. ------
Thank you for your floaty comments on my last upload,

Oh so cute Kort... and a marvelous treatment! Gorgeous shot my friend... bravo!
Cute pic and excellent texture.
Oh now she is so cute Kort, you must be a real proud daddy! Excellently composed, you've obviously trained her well how to pose for you. The details in the tree trunk are brilliant and nicely done with the mirroring too. I love Mohandas K. Gandhi's quote - I must remember that one! Excellent B&W (I really must learn how to get such good tones and contrasts in B&W!) and nice use of selective colouring. xx
You have a lovely little girl. I like the little selective colour and those textures are fantastic. Bravo!!!!
Beautiful little girl and great image with black and whit and red contrast!
nice choice for selective colour my friend
Great B&W and wonderfull portrait Kort .....
She is cute, protected against this giant tree. Lovely shot!
still symettry, but so soft here, with an excellent play of sat/desat ! excellent Kort ! i like it, it's lovely !
Good shot,nice girl...
What a sweet shot. Your daughter is sooooo adorable, and this capture,is beautiful. I love the wonderful textures in this, but she looks so sweet there in her wee dress and anklets that she's all I can focus on. Nice touch with the selective coloring. This one's a keeper, Korterator. -M :^)
Magnificent!!! Awesome work, and beautiful daughter:)!!!
This would not have been as good without the selective color. As it is presented here, it is a rich, warm and endearing photo.
Great capture and work. This is a beautiful image
Like your postwork here, that pink fluff draw all the attention to the cutie. Very clever shot.
excellent character image:):):):):)

She's adorable. I like the blossom only colour, it makes it quite special.
Looking at the lovely photo of your daugther , once more we remember how Ghandi's words are always relevant . Thanks for sharing .
With all due respect, old Mohandas K. Gandhi has a lot to learn about human nature. He would be spinning in his grave if he took a look at civilization today. Anyway, great rock texture and lighting effects in this poignant capture, Kort. The cute little gal came out magnificently.
....adorable daughter - wonderful photo & postwork.
Exquisite work, Kort. I think you made just the right choices here. The clarity and hardness of the textures keep the image from becoming soft and give it all the more impact. A real classic! Spielberg would be proud... ;o))
wonderful post work I like it
Now that's one little cutie Kort, she love this when she's grown!! Aloha~
The little pink blossom draws your eye in, in this beautiful photo. What a wonderful gnarly trunk the tree has.
Very beautiful work, Kort! Bravo!!!
She is beyond adorable!! I like how the pink fluff casts a shadow on her leg!
Wonderful image! Love what you did with this, and your model is great! :)
Very cute...
Kool FX and technique, the Baobab tree has an amazing texture, well done Kort ! ~Cheers~ :o)
