Bath time (with all the white) seemed like a nice place to get high contrast.
- Shadow/highlight
- Sharpen
- Selective color, brightness/contrast, selective colors, hue/sat adjustment layers
- Neat Image
- Resize, save for web

Thanks for the comments, and the favorite, Tim! =)
This was shot in the bathtub, an environmental portrait, with a Vivitar 285HV flash reflected off the ceiling.
What makes this work is a combination of:
- All white setting
- Lots of light
- PP (neat image and careful color/contrast adjustments)
- Cute, cute kiddo. =D
The original, for those interested.
Another shot of Julia in my portfolio lineup!

Very very cute shot - you've really got it here Jeff! Send it to all the baby supply companies - someone's bound to pay you good money for a shot like this!
I know i faved and commented on this previously, but I just wanted you to know that as I was perusing your portfolio (again) that this one still stands out to me. Great smile and feel to this. If I could fave it again I would. Just wonderful.
brilliant process .. i'm seeing this in the before and after thread by the way .. but congratulations on your excellent place in the challenge .. love those eyes and that cheeky expression .. it looks like she just loves having a bath AND having her picture taken .. lucky you .. i have to just about beg ppl if i want to take their photograph .. i have to be very sneaky .. !!..:)
If it wasn't for the wet hair and the title, I would swear this was shot in a studio. His left shoulder is maybe a bit bright and lost against the white background. The rest is spot on.
