process...
after fiddling with my photo, i clipped it to three of the artsy fotoblendz. the bokeh was added over the photo layers, recolored a soft pink, and set to linear burn. the big word "GO" was added the opacity greatly reduced. the textures were added to some places for depth and to others for movement. i think i like the bit that hits my daughter right below the knee...to me it looks like the water is splashing her there. there is a warm glow off to the left to bump of the color. the last thing added was the title.
