More of the same editing as the barn shot - RAW conversion, s/h, boutrells magic glass (I am enjoying this action), seleective color. some cloning to take care of the blown highlights up top, resize, USM.
Love the improved contrast and richness of tones in this After photo. Title is cute and makes one smile when paired with the image - ahhh, childhood:-) Back to the improvements to the photo - again love the improved contrast because now the highlights/tones in the both girls hair, especially the fair haired one, really stand out. Now I am very curious, I am going to have to google boutrellis magic glass to see exactly what it does in the prossessing phase. The photo has strong bones with the original composition, the PP just brings out the details and makes this one shine.
I adore this edit! You did a bang up job of cloning to cover the blown out spots and the increased contrast is lovely, really makes the girls and their clothes just pop out :)
man .. this is brilliant ... love the shot, both the original and the edited version .. an excellent and delicate process .. such a wonderful and candid photograph .. LOVE your title .. this totally rocks . !!..:)
Darling shot. Not sure there's anything I'd change about the edit. I'm not sure the cloning at the top was necessary, but it certainly doesn't hurt any.
