In The Orchard

This week's challenge @ iheartfaces is "In The Orchard".  I knew right away the photo I would use for this challenge.  It is a photo that I took in 1996 while on a field trip with my daughter's kindergarten class to a local orchard in TN.  It is my all time favorite photo of my daughters!  The little dresses they wore were given to them by their grandma. 

I look forward to your thoughts/comments.

fix-it Friday, #74

This week's photo for Fix-It Friday @ iheartfaces is by Dana Suggs. 

My edit was made using Adobe PS, and Color Efex Pro 3.o.  I removed one of the pumpkins and "scooted" the subject left a little to improve the composition.  Then I cropped, adjusted the brightness and contrast, and created a layer, Old Photo in CEP 3.o, and used an eraser at 27% opacity.

My edit was done in Adobe PS.  I duplicated the layer, colorized with Color Efex Pro, reduced the opacity to 65%, added a vignette blur layer and did a little burn to her eyes to enhance them, flattened and here's my result:
