I ♥ Faces Fix It Friday - Oct. 1

It Friday once again I LOVE I ♥ Face's Fix It Friday.
This weeks photo had a bit of a cool color cast and was on the under exposed side.
Didn't take much to fix other that exposure setting, warm it up and ad a new crop.

IT'S FRIDAY!! 

You know what that means?  I get to work on someone Else's photo boo-boos.  Someone Else's exposure problems.  I do this mainly to sharpen up my editing skill. 

Here is the original.  I know that this photo has to have a special place in who ever took it heart.  I don't know the story behind the scene,  I don't know if this fellow is coming or going.  All I know that there is  a lot of feelings being portrayed.

I knew when I first saw the original, I needed to put the focus on the people.  I needed to get rid of the distractions.  So I cropped in close.  Got rid of the little hand that was sticking out into right field.  Next I adjusted the exposure, white balance and color cast.  Then, something that I don't do a lot of, I ran an action.   The action is one of the Pioneer Woman's freebies.  It gave the photo a whole different feel,  more of a 60's 70's type of Polaroid look. I didn't sharpen rather I just saved for the web as I knew that Flickr would add a bit of sharpening when it was uploaded.  Enjoy.

Here is my Fix It Friday Play for the week.
