Hello everyone,

Took my twin nieces to the park a few weeks ago and was able to capture a few great pics. Here is one that I thought at first wasn't a great pic but once i pp it i was amazed on how great it looks.

Your after looks better but IMHO there is not much difference than the before version.

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments. I actually did more than just add some contrast and hue & sat.

I first adjusted the color white balance before i really started into pp the photo.
Then i used MCP touch of light touch of darkeness action
After that I added levels, curves, contrast, color dodge layer, exposure layer, a smooth layer, hue & saturation, & blur layer.
After i was done doing all of that I sharpened and cropped.

Seems like i did a lot but it really did not take me long to do. Oh and i also added a vignette layer at the end also.
