i know this is not the best photo but hey! my little one is sick at the moment so instead of getting up 10 times a night to her i thought i would just get the spare mattress out and sleep in the lounge with her and let the hubby get some sleep on his own she fell asleep and i was watching tv and the light reflecting onto her i thought looked amazing, so there was not alot of light i did a little work on it in photoshop cs but i can't think of what else to do with it any ideas ??

here is the edited one i done

[Don Schaeffer]

Curves, color balance, unsharpen mask, sharpen

[EnglishBob]

I actually like your unedited one, the noise in the altered one I find disturbing.

[Don Schaeffer]

Help--I can't get rid of my mistakes. When I posted the image it looked much brighter on my monitor. What happens to it in the website?

I personally like the blue tones. I tried some B&W and didnt mind the look. The noise is another appealing aspect for me.

Anyhow, I tried to build on the blue tones, with diffuse glow. etc etc

Hmmm. mine doesn't seem to want to load. I'll have to use my hosting site instead.

I love the blue and did this.

Here's my go. I played with curves and levels and ran through neat image. I liked the blue and the darkness but prefered it without as much grain...


What a sweet little angel. (Don't you just LOVE them when they're sleeping?)

[Schellamo]

Gosh darn it! thank god for photobucket:

[hails]

yes love them when they are sleeping!

[Claire]

Here is my try. I used Photoshop, Neat Image, and Mitch's softening action.

I like what you did with this picture Claire...

[Claire]

Thanks, I also used a small amount of the warming photo filter while in Photoshop that gave it a little different cast.

This picture reminds me of some of the cute baby pictures on calendars that are now collector items.
