First of all, those are obviously renders from a 3D program, so you have to take into account that the look of the images is largely due to the fact that they are CG and not photography.

But if what you like about this image is the softness, and how the lighter areas of the image tend to be more "clouded" in lightness, I suggest that you research how to create "bloom" effects. Here's (http://www.oferz.com/Tutorials/BloomEffect/BloomEffect.html) one tutorial, but Googling "light bloom in photoshop (http://www.google.com/search?q=light+bloom+in+photoshop&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official)" or "bloom effect in photoshop (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=Guw&q=bloom+effect+in+photoshop&btnG=Search)" will provide others. I'm sure you'll be pleased to hear that it's actually a fairly simple process, and can be done entirely in Photoshop. Good luck! :)

I asked the woman who did this and she said it was done using photoshop ..so its a 2d ..is the effect used only bloom...or are there any other affects you guys see which can be done to acquire this look as well

The images here are definitely 3D renders, though I'm pretty sure the light bloom was done in Photoshop. I'm also pretty sure the only thing done to this image after render was the bloom, and maybe some general tweaking of lights and darks. Try some of the bloom tutorials I linked to and I think you'll be pleased.

If you dig into this woman's Flickr gallery, you'll see that the "model" is a character in Second Life. Whilst the character appears to be a 3d model, and this is largely responsible for how the model looks, there does appear to be some effects applied in Photoshop which give the pictures that particular look.
