This week's image comes from Keli Hoskins.
This adorable little girl had such a cute expression on her face,

and the prettiest eyes!

I enjoyed playing around with this, and, making a few changes to the original.
I used PSE7, which, I might add, I am still learning about.

. original .

On the first, edit, below, I adjusted the levels, contrast, and colors, changing those up a bit ...
layered it with a hint of green using the photo filter ...
notice the flip-flops are now green.
Then I brightened up her eyes to make them pop, and added a light vignette.

Fix #1

On the second edit below, I stripped it of color, overlayed it with a solid taupe color, 

adjusting the opacity, brightness, and contrast, darkening the upper left hand corner, 

finally, adding a little lens flair in the upper right hand corner, dialing the opacity back about half way.

Fix #2

On the third, and final, edit ... I did basically the same as what I did to #2, 

only adding a texture, then masking it off of her. 

I then adjusted the brightness, and contrast a bit more before adding a light vignette.  

Not too sure about this one. Would love your thoughts on these! 

I need to improve on explaining all of my steps! =\

Until next week ... Happy October!
Ciao'
