Thanks CT.
The possibilities are endless and I'll definitely be revisiting this one.
It was just an opportunist shot at the spare of the moment and a bit of an exercise in creating that 'glow' look using blur and blending modes.
The red I think was actualy introduced when blending the layers but I should have toned it down, having said that I think it gives her cheeks a glow and it has a slight 'painting' feel to it which is exactly what I was after.
I'll take your suggestions on board for the next attempt...thank you
