Chelsey started a new blog called Paper ♥ Camera, so beginning next week, that's where the Mr. Linky will be. I'll still occasionally play too; I'll just link up over at Chelsey's. :-) Hope to see you there!
So let's get to the SOOC. Almost a silhouette, but not quite. I cannot take a square picture to save my life, and I always tip my camera the wrong way, making the person look like they're falling forward. Whoops!
I rotated and cropped a bit, but I didn't want to go any further. I didn't want to lose too much sky, or too much fence, or too much of Collin's body. The more you rotate, the more that will be cropped off. I wanted it to look like he was leaning backwards, but that didn't quite happen - oh well!
For my first edit, I did the following:
MCP Fingerpaint at 80%
PW's Dim the Lights at 50% - this is FANTASTIC when you "almost" get a silhouette
MCP's Urban Ocean at 25%
PW's cooler action at 65% (the clouds were a bit too yellow)
For my second edit, I did the following:
MCP Fingerpaint at 80%
color balance slider to red +50
PW's Dim the Lights at 50%
soft light blending mode at 70%
Isabelle Lafrances' Warm Retro action
So there you have it. ;-) I would have preferred more of Collin's body (like in the SOOC), but he was falling so far forward it looked a little off to me. That was the reason for the crop.

Hope you'll join in and share your SOOC and edit(s)!
Remember, this is the last week touch-up Tuesday will be on my blog. Starting next week, it will be over at Chelsey's. :-)

I love the 2nd edit! The coloring is great. I wish I had some photos like that of my kids when they were smaller.
Why didn't ya just flip the picture.. then he would hae been leaning the other way??? Or maybe not.. I still love this shot...no matter what you think. THe SOOC is pretty awesome.IMO
I love that you share your steps! Helps me to think outside of my work flow box! This is a great edit:). Thanks again so much for the e-mail responses. I laughed when I read about how to get a child to look at a camera. Oh my gosh I can SO relate..especially when photographing clients kids. They don't even seem to think I or my camera exists!! hahahaha:) Have a great day!
I like your 2nd edit the best, the blue of the sky really makes the image pop!
I also shared a silhouette photo too! Not on purpose tho! Accidental photo that just worked well! I love yours, how the sun is peeping through the bend of his elbow is awesome!
see...it all starts with a great photo to begin with. I love both edits. When I went back to my SOOC, I realized that it really required quite a bit of help. Thank god for photo shop. Have a great week my friend...and notice what time I'm linking up.
Love the second edit! It's wonderful!
I love the last edit! Great job!
Great edits! Photoshop is the best!

Nice job! I love the sky in the first edit, but I really like the second edit, too.
Your shot is amazing and your edits are perfect. I love the color in the first edit, but the second edit has a ray of orange and I love that too! You have a beautiful eye!
I like all 3!! Even the SOOC is COOL!!
I'm short on time lately, so I didn't do anything fancy... pretty clean edit. I'll look forward to seeing you sometime at Paper Mama... Good luck with all that chaos going on. ((HUGS))
