A Polaroid of a college friend from mid-1970s. Cherished but shoeboxed until scanned in 2008. [Actually, it was a Godiva chocolates box.] GIMP-created oval cutout frame & CLUT & fog effect applied in 2018 when I first started playing with GIMP. Reversed the fog effect in 2020 because the way it was originally applied suddenly looked wrong after a couple of years. Perhaps I'm learning to see things differently. But at this rate ...

Nice photo. Bet she looks older now. She will always look youthful in memory.

Haven't seen her for about 35 years. I thought of this illustration as representing a sort of vaguely threatening female spirit dream image but, you're right, it's nice remembering what she looked like without the special effects.

I like it and it's true that we look at things from a different point of view when time passes.
I see your result to be very artistic.

Issabella and Erisian, thank you for having a look and commenting. It is always a lucky day for me to see what you share of your own art.
