 levels, saturation, hue, despeckle | bombilla
(1950) [2006-11-14 09:19:37] [2] | | Adjusted curves down a bit, lowered overall saturation and a little more in the yellow range, then picked up the yellow hue a bit more. Despeckled. Seems to bring out the detail in the petals of the flower a little more. Hope you like. -Hugh |

 crop, adjust color | bombilla
(1950) [2006-11-13 19:20:23] | | Cropped to minimize distracting background and focus on cute kids' faces. Adjusted color to reduce redness in skin tone. Hope it gives you some ideas. -Hugh |

 Crop, sharpen | bombilla
(1950) [2006-11-13 14:02:26] [3] [+] | | I think this crop brings the focus on the part of the frame that's really strong. Shot was already ready sharp, but I thought it could stand a little more edge. That's a matter of taste, though. (What isn't?) -Hugh |

 sharpened, contrast | bombilla
(1950) [2006-11-10 13:15:49] [1] | | Just sharpened slightly and increased contrast. It has more of a documentary, news feel to it this way, whereas your treatment is softer and more artistic. I think it's interesting to compare the two. Best, Hugh |

 Lightened | bombilla
(1950) [2006-11-09 09:11:01] | | I like the dark, high-contrast, but maybe her face was too dark. So here is a lighter version. |

 Increased luminence | bombilla
(1950) [2006-11-08 08:12:46] | | On the suggestion that it was too dark, I lightened up her face. Has more of glow here. Maybe more flattering. (Though perhaps less "rugged" this way, which is sort of the impression she gives me.) |

 Rotate, crop, levels, sharpen | bombilla
(1950) [2006-11-07 13:51:05] [3] | | Rotated one degree, cropped, sharpened, added contrast, brigtened, and lifted gamma a bit. Hope you don't mind. -Hugh |
