I took this picture of my co-workers family this morining before she left for Africa on a medical mission. I would like to have a nice portrait ready when she returns in 3 weeks. I am looking for some help with post processing. I need to set the picture up to be printed 8x10 for sure and possbily bigger. I would also like to explore color, black and white, sepia, and selective coloring. I would really appreciate some help. Thanks for taking a look.

Mike

Here's my shot at it. If you shot this in Raw you can do alot better fixing it.

I think cropping helps, but the details seems to have gone in the inlargement. Maybe just crop it and leave it small.

The detail is gone because I am only working with an image that is less than 100k, to start with. With the original image, cropping and then enlarging should not be a problem in regards to losing detail.

My feeble attempt. Close to what Keiffer did. I just brought down the highlights a bit.

Thanks for woking with my photo and giving me some great ideas. I think I'm going to try sepia tone and orient the final print vertically. Thanks again everyone.
