I just love how her eyes are smiling in this one.

I converted to black and white, and then brought the color back slightly. Tried to do this yesterday but I think I brought too much color back. I like this one better!

So, what do you think??? All feedback, advice, and comments are welcome and appreciated!!

Thanks for looking!!! Happy Thursday!!!

Amber, I love this new edit and it looks like the judges do also!

This is such a darling capture....

How did you add the color back? I'm pretty new at this and would really appreciate the tip. I use PS Elements...

This image is "Picture Perfect" - Great Work!!!
