This is a photo of my sister-in-law and her beautiful new baby.
Editing steps: (using GIMP)
- conversion from RAW
- change to B/W
- levels
- gaussian blur combined with an airbrushed layer mask
- small bit of cloning to remove a blemish
- crop, border, resize

nice idea but the image is a little flat - maybe due to how this was converted to b/w - likely a direct grey scale conversion instead of selective channel desaturation
