Unlikely... It is such a cute image. The blown highlights do detract from the image, but not entirely.

Awww that does stink. I too have the same issue. I have a great shot of a little boy with blown out highlights. It kills me that I can't ifx it...This is still a great shot! I do like the B&W version, it looks like a total OshKosh add :)

I love the B/W version. I think it did take away some of the blown out highlights converting it to bw. Even though I sill love the shot even with it being some what blown out. I will just try and redo one day when the sun is not out so bright.
Thanks for the help though. ;-)a

Use the overblown highlights to your advantage for a different look.

There are lots of things that you can do in PP. I adjusted the hue and saturation and came up with this. I am sure with more time it could look much better.

Gush this web compression does degrade the image. Here one more version of image 2 with less grain:

I agree...use the overblown for effect. (btw, I like your version too cgratti) (and yours to tghaines)

I transformed it into a retro-style painting like effect, for the fun of it. (very cute baby)
