I took a shot of my son with my 2 nephews that I really love and since I am a newbie I don't know how to edit in Lightroom. Can someone post an edit and a step by step instruction on what they did to achieve the result? The raw file and the jpeg has been uploaded on Megaupload http://www.megaupload.​com/?d=26V1CYWA (external link) (I didn't know where else to put it)

I am also attaching the pic that I want to edit. Thanks.

Here is mine. It is a shame the kid on the left is clipped, and that the shirt on the kid on the right is blown out.

I could probably knock back on the orange a bit, but I like it.

Thought I give it a shot
LR processing(Post-Crop Vignette Preset)-Luminance contrast & details- highlight hue-round masking , CS5(Adjustment levels)before saving.

Thanks, glad you like it.

It is unfortunate that the boy on the left got cut off.
Also, interesting handle you got there.

I think cutting the one little boy off, ruins it as a group pics. So just make the middle guy the star.
Duplicate Layer, Blur and lessen exposure on top layer, use mask and paint thru so the middle guy is shown normally. Just ONE way to do something to the photo.

Yeah I was shooting with the 100L and there wasn't enough room in my bedroom and that's the best I could manage.
