With this project I wanted to turn this into a magazine page layout. I looked at a few of my favorite magazine and even a few woman magazines, to get inspiration. The photo was retouched in Photoshop. I used a few cooling photo filter tools. I blurred everything around the main person and in the background. Then I used a layer/photo mask to remove the blur over the main person. I used a lot of layers with different effects and tools to bring give the photo a better resolution.
