Before & After - Part Two

This picture was taken in my son's nursery, a.k.a. my homemade "studio," where the rocking chair and door are visible in the top photograph.  Henry also had a little scratch on his right cheek.  After a little work, this turned out to be the family favorite photograph!

I hope you are looking forward to a wonderful Christmas!

Before & After - Part One

I thought it was time to show a little before and after action with you.  As you can see, the background was too short for the dancers' lift, too narrow for the subjects, and there is a hair in my lens that left a mark on the top left corner.  I rarely dabble in photoshop for the simple reason that I want to leave as much integrity of the original photo as possible.  However, this one needed some help!

After making the necessary background changes, only simple additions in lightroom were made in vibrance, contrast, spot sharpening, and brightness.  Enjoy!
