I couldn't resist. They are too cute!! I adjusted the curves, dodged the background to white and used the dodge and burn tool on the eyes then softened some of the irregularities on the skin.

^^ okay I like ALL of the edits! The eyes are amazing! What am I doing wrong in editing that I can't get the eyes to pop the way you all do. I have been reading and practicing but it looks like chopped liver compared to the filet you all are putting up!

There will always be someone that takes better pictures than me so that just gives me so much more desire to learn :)

No offence, they look like zombie babies with that skin tone. Also I agree with the sparking in the eyes along with the whole missing limbs thing.

I love these. In the first one, it would be nice to see a bit more detail in the eyes. They're dark and lacking light. They're all gorgeous. Beautiful kids.

Portraits of my kids - redo edit!

Ok so it took me longer then a day to redo this. I have been reading and trying to something with this in my spare time. Let me know! I worked on the eyes and I didn't do an bunch of brightening on their skin, although I did smooth it out. Thanks again!

I clipped the background, brightened the photo a bit and make the eyes brighter.

Thoughts?
