I'm participating, once again, in fix-it friday over at
i heart faces. Below is the original image we were given to 'fix.' I love it! I chose not to clean up her dirty arms, because there is a pureness to showing that a beautiful little girl in a white dress can find joy digging in the earth. I also went against the rule of thirds (placing her eyes at the top third of the photo), because I really 'felt' the space above her (not sure how to explain that one technically,
grin).
What I
did do:
In Photoshop CS2: TRA's Oh, Snap, Yin/Yang (lightened face and body), flattened, PW's Boost, flattened, then TRA's Pool Party and Punch Out! (100%).
In Picnik: Slight crop, resized, sharpened, Cross Process (fade at 70%), adjusted curves slightly, and added frame. Voila!

Hee! You nailed her perfectly Heidi. She loves to dress up but will be playing in the dirt at the same time. :)
Awesome fix and amazing job with this photo.

Excellent! I never even noticed the dirty arms til now. You've got Picnik figured out!
Very nice work!
I bet you "felt" the space above her because the way the light is highlighting the top of her hair is angelic - like heaven is illuminating her. I'm being serious not corny :) ~Tera
Wow. Just wow.
