I ♥ Faces: Fix-It Friday #5

This is not a photo I took.  This is from I ♥ Faces - a really cool photography blog I stumbled across early this week.  Today is their "Fix-It Friday" ... they post a picture that needs help, then we get to play in photo editing.  


Photobucket

Here's the before, and MY after:

Photobucket

I use Adobe PhotoShop CS3 for my editing.  I didn't change the crop of this photo, because I already loved the composition.  I saw the original, and began to imagine what he was looking at.  So I stuck with simplicity, just accentuating the original, without taking from the integrity of the composition. 

If I get bored with tidying the house later, I'll come back and show some more edits.  If YOU get bored, check out other's cool edits on this same photo HERE!

Taking a break ... and came up with this ... it's not great, but I feel guilty for leaving the dishes ... at least, I *should* feel guilty and hurry back to them.
