Love the details from the first edit. Freckles really stand out! Great job.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mandy! I like his freckles a lot. Freckles are so cute!
ReplyDeleteYou did an awesome job on the color correction! I also like that you kept the freckles.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Monica! :)
ReplyDeleteI like the first one. clean and sharp. the second is too frothy for me. Is frothy a word? ;)
ReplyDeleteYour subtle changes really enhanced the photo while keeping it natural looking. Great edit!
ReplyDeleteThank you Catharine and Tara!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if frothy is a word or not. We'll just pretend on the chance that it's not *lol*
Beautiful! I love the second one.. so perfect :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jennifer!
ReplyDeleteVery nice Misty. I like that you removed the color cast from his suit. I would not have thought of that.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Wenderful! I didn't even notice it on his suit until I started to edit the first photo a little bit more & seen that he had the blue/cyan in his hair & went to remove it.
ReplyDeleteBoth edits are wonderful! I can't choose which I like best. You have done a fantastic job!
