Trendy Treehouse fix-myphoto Friday

This is the first time I've participated in Trendy Treehouse's fix-myphoto Friday.  I didn't have a ton of time to play with this last night but I did a little bit.  And I forgot to link the SOOC shot (and can't link it from work!).  But here's the two I came up with....

Here's the original:



Here's my first fix:

And here's what I did using PSE 8...
Crop
Auto Smart Fix
Rita's Perfect Portrait
 *Sharpen 35%
 *Brighten 70%
 *Color Pop 60%
 *Urban grit off
 * Teeth whiten 35%
 *Bright eyes 51%
 *Soft Skin 100% on the shiny spots on her face
  *Dodge/Burn on all of the water to darken it 100%
 *Vignette 100%
Flatten
PW's Boost
 *Turn crispness off
 *Turn zip off
 *Zing 32%
Flatten

Here's my second try:

Again using PSE 8...
Auto smart fix
PW's slight light 100%
Flatten
DPM's Oh The Drama 15%
Flatten
Rita's Perfect Portrait
 *Sharpen off
 *Bright 23%
 *Color Pop 22%
 *Soft Skin on shiny spots 100%
 *Dodge/Burn Water 100%
 *Vignette 55%
 *Brighten eyes 38%
Flatten

And that's it.  I think I will probably do more tonight.  I had a couple of more vintage looks that I liked but hubby talked me out of them...

Update... one more.  And I didn't write down the steps to edit (sigh).  I was in a hurry to finish before the Stars game started.  Missed that as we are about 10 minutes into the game.  Go Stars!!



Let me know what you think :)

Very nice edit - I see that you're a fairly new blogger so welcome to blog land! And I also see that you have an interest in photography. I've collected a number of challenges on my blog (look under photography challenges). I also host one one Sunday called Scavenger Hunt Sunday...it might be right up your ally.

Anyways, I just wanted to stop by and say hey! I hope you have a great weekend and I hope you'll stop by soon.
