Playing with some actions that I downloaded. Which version do you like better and why? Thanks so much for the input!

I like the original best. For me, blurs/softening work best for 'inspirational' scenes and portraits. Option two overemphasizes the shadow on her arm and does not lend anything to the photo. IME photos with bubbles often are better in color due to their rainbow effect. Nice capture though, its definitely a keeper.

i like one better than two, if you can back the smoothing off a little, it would be a winner IMHO

The original is a very nice picture so why spoil it with poor editing?

I agree, the original is better.

In my opinion I like the original it is a picture that does well in colour and works better with the original dof. Good picture:)

Number 1 is the one for me. You can see the detail in her hair, on the last picture the dark mark on her arm came from?

[SHULTSIE!!!]

Looks like a shadow...

I actually like the third one the best.

Thank you everyone for your comments! They are well appreciated! It's a toss up between one and two for me so I gave both to the mom. She loved them both. Thanks again!
