Thank you Boris. For me this is really a great compliment. I really admire Franks work on similar subjects.
In fact, one of Franks pictures of the jazz singer Pirate Jenny, turned up in back of my head when I was processing the image. I am not able to recall what the similarities where, something about the mood, I believe. Thats what gave me the idea of giving the image a low saturated look. I even experimented with adding some grain ;-) That idea I did let go, mainly because I wasn't able to add natural looking grain, but also because it made me feel like a copy cat. BTW. Frank, if reading this, can you please repost the URL to the pictures I'm referring to? Before posting this I had a look for them, in vain. I would love to have another look at them (think it was two pictures). While I'm posting: Thanks to Paul and Don too. Paul: I have noticed and commented on the spot myself. If I ever print this image out, I will clone it away. I havent got a proper printer yet. Thats next major enablement in line. One more time: Thank you all members for looking and commenting, it inspires me.
