watermelon vs. frog

I buzzed over to Gymboree last night because the little senorita was in need of a new "swimmy" suit. So what do you think...watermelon, or frog?

First off... one day I will do a correct white balance in my kitchen. I mean, not today. But someday.


Who doesn't love a baby with orange skin anyway, right? ;-)


The only editing I did to these pictures was the PW's cooler action at 50%, and TRA's lux hard action at 30%. No levels, no curves, no contrast, no soft light, and nope... not even Aly's Basic Boost, my long-standing favorite. *gasp*


I luv this one. ♥


There's always black and white when you really mess up the color. Too bad it doesn't help with limb chops. (oops) But just ignore that and look at that sweet lil' face! :-)


Livia was pretty much over the modeling by this point, so the faces are a little questionable. But I did change my white balance here. It's still not a custom white balance (too much trouble), but I changed it from cloudy to sunny. (Cloudy will give you more of an orange cast; certainly not needed in my already orange kitchen). I didn't mess with the color on these last two pictures. Just Aly's Basic Boost, and that's it.


OK, so what do you think? Watermelon or frog?
