[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is my daughter Freja. She turned 1½ yesterday.

I tried to setup my lights in the livingroom but she couldn't stand still. It was sort hit or miss with regards to her being in the lights or not.

I thought this one came out pretty good even though the shadows are darker than what I was aiming at.

This one is a high contrast version.

In photoshop I started with duplicating the original layer (ctrl+j) and pressing grey scaled the new layer (ctrl+shift+u). I then dublicated the newly created layer (ctrl+j). For the first layer I created I set the blending mode to Soft Light and for the second layer I set the blending mode to Screen. I then stamp all the layers together (ctrl+shift+alt+e) and set the blending mode to multiply and the opacity to about 30%.

I like the desaturated effect and I think it looks really nice if you saturate areas like the eyes and mouth a little bit.

I uploaded the original as a workshop together with one in black and white.

I'd like to know what you think.

Cheers,
Jens

hELLO, jENS!
Happy birthday to Freja! She's so sweet! The way she smiles...she's just adorable! You must be very proud of her!
I like all three postings, but best of all I like the original version.
Your daughter reminds me of myself when I was little...I had really blond hair and blue eyes, just like her!
All the best to you and your family!
