Pied Piper of Highland Park
Unlike the original story of the Pied Piper of Hamlin, in which many children may have died of the plague, the Pied Piper of Highland Park is the story of a girl who likes to put on a show. And her mother who likes to play with Photoshop.
Her mother took all the background out of the original photo, except for a little on the right, after converting to sepia. Except for the red ribbon and the girl’s face.
A Photoshop brush of a star helped create a vibrant background. No rats were involved in this Highland Park project. And no children died of the plague. Thank goodness!

She is beautiful, and carries herself as a budding performing artist. The audience (of one or many) is impressed with her ability and dedication to her craft. Likewise, mom as a talented graphic artist enhances the scene. I am partial to the stars, this looking like the perfect cover to the program of the performance...
