Took this picture in January and my son loved it so much that he decided to use the finished shot on his 2011 Graduating Senior Open House invitations.

Snowy Senior

I used Elements 6 to edit photo. From what I remember since it has been a few months I......

1. Corrected blemishes with the healing brush tool.
2. Did a levels adjustment.
3. Adjusted the highlights and shadows to bring in detail to shadows and tone down highlights.
4. Color dodge the eyes.
5. Adjusted color tone and saturation.
6. Added snowflakes with a snowflake brush downloaded from www. obsidiandawn.com
7. High Pass sharpening
8. Cropped.

I think you did a great job. The snow flake brush added a nice touch.

The first shot was nice enough but the PP work makes it something really special, not surprised your son was so happy with it.
