Created using photoshop.
The original image was too dark for my taste.

Very nice delicate rendering, looks like a colored pencil drawing. Like the soft pastel-like tones. A very welcome spring feel to this.

Such a delicate and ethereal view of this lovely subject. For my tastes I would like just a tiny bit more colour tone, not too much but just enough to show soft pastel shades.

Lovely delicate sketch -- I think I too would like just a touch more density in the image. Beautiful work!

I have darkened the image a tiny bit. It looks better. Thanks a lot!
