 I guess I should give you some background on this shot. These are 3 of my 6 awesome kids. "Mydanty" came from their names. Mya, Daniel, and Ty. Had a blast shooting this "unplanned" shot. Thanks for all the comments.

Here's an out take:



Processing: for diamonds

Curves
Levels
Dodge and Burn
High Pass (soft Light)
Painted with light a bit. Created a fill layer, reduced opacity a bit and painted over the areas where I thought the light should come through.
Sharpened a touch
Re-sized.
Adjusted brightness and contrast.


This was my first shot with my new strobe. Lighting made the difference for me in this shot more than any processing. Don't know how I ever survived without a strobe in the past.
