Shot in soft focus mode, then added a little more soft focus, black and white vignetting, adj to sepia tones, adj contrast, brightness and exposure, reduced noise added border.

If you look closely that's a photo and my sister and I on my wedding day, and a photo of my mother in law as a young lady.

Such a lovely image evoking a sphere of a time gone past with the soft misty look. I really like this very much and I voted it a 10. I think it's been underrated generally.

great treatment, reminds me of grandparent's home. Soft focus is great for this.

This is cool. I love the monotones but I fear that it is a touch out of focus. Maybe a bit of sharpening could have been in order here.

I like the dreamy still life scene. I think your choice of processing is counter intuitive to the message you are trying to communicate. The high-key, soft focus processing along with the tones used leave me with a cold, icy feeling. I feel like I am looking at a memorial of some sort.

a tad too soft for my eyes, otherwise I like the romantic look
