Default Sisterly love

Before I cropped it tightly on their faces, this pic of my daughters felt like a throw-away. I liked it a lot better with the focus more, um, focused.

BEFORE:


AFTER:


In addition to cropping, I added a slight Diffuse Glow filter. I then ran a Lomo action from Addicted to Design; the action outputs a separate file, so I copied & pasted that as a layer on top of my original and set it to Overlay with an opacity of 35%. Nothing else to it. :-)

I think your crop and post processing made a world of difference. It's a keeper!
