very cute... I think all the photo could use a little boost in contrast. maybe just a little eye pop also. Nice work over all and they would be great for the holiday..

Cute shots, although i think they need a bit of a boost. Here is a quick play with them. These dont look great (just quick edits) but it seems you have a slight pinkish/red cast to these.

Thanks! for the comments! christyjo2, do you remember how you got rid of the reddish cast? my scrrens not calibrated so it always prints out different than what it looks like on my computer....

TOtally cute! I think they are a tad bit overexposed... any chance you shot in RAW? It would be an easy fix. :)

Gotta agree, great pics, just a tad hot. As Kristy says, if you shot them in RAW (you DID didn't you ;-)) then its easily fixed.

Of course I didnt! I almost always do, but I wanted to edit them on my laptop this time which is super slow in raw. But, I did lighten the originals, except the first. Ill post those...

Do you think I could do a Open As Raw fix?

The pics definitely do look a bit overexposed. Really cute kids you have!

Your original pics dont really look overexposed, so it seems as though you have maybe over exposed them in Post processing.

I agree they look a little hot and lacking in contrast, but what really bugs me is all the stray fur on your daughter's shirt. CUTE kiddos though!

okay... I'm sorry I took so long to get back to you..

Here's a quick edit.. .. You can do curves/levels and mask off the child.. dodge the background some... and then you'll be better off with his exposure.

There was a lot of yellow and magenta cast in the image... color correction is not something I'm good at, but I tried...

Here ya go... Hope it helps some. :)
