This is one I went sort of wild with. You can kind of tell, at least the educated eye could. In the olden days post 30 film stars used to have a kind of gauze put over the camera to soften the harsh edges, now we have blur, despeckle and the smudge stick! This photo is a pretty popular one, I don't look nearly so nice in the original.
