Before (SOOC)
After
I added texture but kept the texture off of the baby. I also adjusted the white balance and exposure. I shot with a Canon 5d Mark II and edited in photoshop CS4.
I can't wait to see all of your awesome edits!
What a beautiful edit! I'm in love with the texture! Great job [as usual] :)

First, great shot SOOC. You are finely honed at your craft. The edit is well done too. The texture was nicely applied and edited. (Seems to be your favorite.) :-) I have a question though: Do you desaturate your images in general? It seems you like to pull the levels from the right side and sometimes loose a little detail in the highlights. (But it looks very good, not complaining.) Do you change hue at all too? Just trying to get a finger on popular technique. Thanks for hosting!! (Now go and relax with baby for a moment.)
ReplyDeleteLove love love your edit. This is a great photo! What a super cute baby.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this edit!
