Ok - so now I tried to "do it again". I normally save all my steps when postworking on an image, but this time I didn't... so I had to do step 2-6 again (you might notice that the colours slightly change between image 6 and image 7...) So here's the explanation: 1) original shot 2) "watercolour"-filter applied (for anyone in Germany: Data Becker 400 Fotoeffekte) to sharpen the image 3) "dreamy"-filter applied (opticVerse Labs - Virtual Photographer) with full softness 4) copy of image 2) with "dreamy"-filter and less softness and PSP7 "sharpness-correction" 5) image 4) "masked" (also Data Becker...) 6) image 5) inserted into image 3) 7) some cloning to avoid edges between lighter and darker parts 8) "oil painting"-filter applied (Ulead Photo Express 4.0) 9) slightly pink spot applied (Ulead Photo Express 4.0)

You see I'm kind of a program-hopper, but even though you probably have different ones you might find filters that work just as well for you...
