Photo challenges

A couple photo challenges!  OK we got these little finger puppets for Riley to play with in the bath, and she is IN LOVE with them.  And the best part, apparently, is she can keep them in her mouth with NO hands!  And she sucks all the bath water out of them because they are like little sponges.  She could sit in the bath happily forever just sucking on that little turtle.  And I gave this photo a little "autumn tint," and at first I wasn't sure if I liked it, but now I think I do.

And then we have shoot and edit part 2:  Here's the SOOC shot again.

And my edited version.

I'm going to be honest, I don't love the edit.  I just couldn't get it to look like I wanted.  But here they are side-by-side so you can compare.

I also kind of liked a simple black and white version....

I followed some of Ashley's steps BUT then I wasn't getting the look I wanted, so I kept trying different things and I just could not keep track of all the things I did! I'll write it down next time.

And I leave you with Riley's seriously-contemplating-the-world face.  Mwah!

I love your edit. You really made the eyes pop! And it brightened without losing tone or color. I think it's a good edit. :)

I love Riley's face - so cute. Your edit...I feel like the overall look just needs to be lowered in opacity because I like where you were going but I understand where you're coming from - I really liked your SOOC. I also love the BW. It looks really pretty.

These photos are absolutely adorable I can't even believe it! I really do like the edit, it's bright & brings out the eyes. The B&W is so pretty too! xx
