Here's Larissa blowing bubbles right outside out apartment complex. It would have made a better image if she actually blew a bubble.

BEFORE

AFTER

Post Processing:

- Changed Profile to LAB

- Added curves layer and adjusted the Lightness A & B channels to make the image pop a little more.

- Changed profile back to RGB once the curves adjustment was completed.

- Adjusted contrast using levels.

- Sharpened image (Filters --> Others --> High pass - adjusted until I saw a vague outline of the image) and changed it to Overlay.

- Dodged a little bit on the right side of her face.

- Healing brush: removed specks on her cheeks.

I was very conservative on this picture and didn't get carried away with the colors as you can see. I seem to be getting the hang of the digital darkroom but there's SO much more I need to learn.

Baby steps Lorena... baby steps.

Someday, I would like to manipulate an image to look like this:
