Anyone willing to help a desperate mom?

NO! Sorry!!! She's gorgeous. I just saw the photo when you posted the other day and assumed she was 4-5 and petite. I didn't even consider that you would feel insulted by that. What do I know.. I have teenage boys! I was just shocked when I saw that she was 2.

I think it's more her sophisticated looking hairdo that made me so surprised. Again, sorry, was going to take a stab at the PS, but I thought the others did a fine job and didn't think I could do any better.

Not sure what agenda you could imagine, but I know having girls is a LOT more complicated than boys. I'm probably lucky to have no clue!

Deanna,
Sorry, guess I got a bit defensive. It just seemed like in one simple post I got
a) questioned as to whether I was cheating in a photography contest
b) questioned about the whole "nudity" issue
and when I read your comment I took it the wrong way.
I guess the whole Jon Benet thing comes to mind ie: the little girls with the adult hair-do's wearing make-up which is something I would never want to be accused of. Funny thing is her hair was piled on her head in a pony-tail after swimming so I never would have thought it looked sophisticated. Anyway, sorry and thanks.

If I could just address this nudity thing. I am well aware that because of the society we live in how careful you need to be with your children. However, the thought of this photo suggesting or bringing nudity to someone's mind really surprises me. Yes, you see her shoulders but the thought of that alone suggesting she is naked is, in my opinion, ridiculous. This is not a photo showing her rear-end, chest, anything other than her shoulders. Anyway, just my opinion. Maybe I'm being naive.

Anyway, thank for all the photoshop help. Gorgeous work and it is appreciated.

Pam
