Monica over at Pixel Perfect hosts a Before and After blog hop every week.
And since photo editing is one of my favorite things to do, I'm always up for the challenge!
Before...
Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
After...
Here comes the sun,
Here comes the sun
And I say it's all right!
p.s. this is not the last you've seen of my little "chick magnet"
Edited in Photoshop Elements.
*adjusted levels
*ran unsharp mask
*Used the lasso tool to select the iris and Ctrl J to move to a new layer
*then lightened his eyes a bit using Color variation
*Used Coffeeshop Baby Powder Room action
*For the sun, used Coffeeshop Sun Kissed action
*And, because I can't leave well enough alone, I added a screen layer and a multiply layer at 70% opacity.
*AMEN

lovely!
how do you get a signature on your photos, with all this photo theft, i think i probably should do mine.
What a cute picture!
And great job on the edit!
Absolutley beautiful. What a precious shot and I love the angle and the edit. Nice and soft. Absotluely
Guess I better stop using Absolutely...I keep misspelling it. Why was it at the end too? Weird.
His shirt is soooo cute!
The edit is great, the warmth just makes this cute photo even better.
I love the lyrics too. :)
I love how warm you made this photo.
Love the shirt! Great picture.
Wow! Love it!! So warm! I really need to learn how to use my adobe photoshop!!!! Thanks for telling me what you did!
Lovely to meet you too btw!!!
Great edit - love how you warmed it up so much. Looks great - not to mention he is just cute as can be!
I love it! The warm after is perfect. He is so cute. I have a feeling you will have your hands full with that one, he will be a chick magnet.
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Love that song. Love this picture.
See, all this stuff you do to make your photos so great (not that they aren't before) amazes me. I am so inept with editing it's laughable really.
So sunny and warm! I love the vintage feel... and she's too stinkin' cute! Did you make the shirt? I love, love, love it and want one for my little Ella! Hah... So sweet! I wish I had your talent.

Love this shot - the angle and composition are striking. I love how sunny and beautiful you made it with your edit! Perfect.
Ahhh, you never let me down. Love it again. Great shot and cutie pie little one!!!
That's a really stunning "after". I'm pretty dense with that kind of stuff - I see people's before and afters and I can't tell the difference. I could really tell on this one!
