Did you paint it?

Yes friiskiwi , many years ago. I used to paint and do shows at local galleries. But gave it up because the turpentine was a problem for me.

Is the scarf blue..?

Very nice. The soft focus helps imply the painting. Good job

yes Mad, the scarf is blue.
kyricom, it's been a hard work ( and tens and tens of shots) to suggest the idea of a painting...

You might want to up the saturation levels. It looks more gray than blue.

ok josh, here it is.

You changed something? Did you try auto color? I had the same issue with my entry but the auto color reversed it. My entry looked more purple than blue but auto color corrected it.

Just use selective colour and adjust the cyan and blue. Great entry btw.

pearl-- good
