Awaiting Your Return

I felt obligated to make a new piece since I have been away on vacation. This another sort of classical piece made with a new technique I tried out today. I did tons of smudging, dodging, and burning to the girl, the butterflies, and the boat. Then after I gave it a very soft painted looked and fixed up all the shadows, I sharpened it up some. I really like the results, it's almost as if it's still painted yet it gave it alot more definition. Anywayz this is another pretty simple manip. I hope you guys enjoy it
