Wife & Daughter

I used Photoshop Lightning Effect filter -> Omni Light (with a skin tone color.)
Created a second layer, changed the Hue, Saturation and Lightness, then blended both layers.
Here is the original and the final results.

What do you think?

Final result


After reading some comments, I made new changes, which included erasing the distracting hair from my wife's face and my daughter's head. I also added some vignette as a final touch.

What a difference! I love the light and the color of the after version.

Great portrait, btw...love the pose.

Yes, that came out real well. Nice improvement on what was already a good photo.

I really like it. Kinda brought a little tear to my eye, ( but I cry easily)

Wow! This is a really great shot! And the omni light was perfect for it. I really love this picture!

Well, that was nice. The original pic was kinda dark and yeah, the after effect of omni is real nice. Did you really put the emphasis/middle of the omni more on the child?

[jgomez65]

Thank you!!!

I tried to put the omni light in the middle of both of them.

I really like the after. it makes the subjects stand out. the only thing that is distracting is the fly away hair on the little girl. Maybe clone it out or something..

Great edit and a wonderful shot!
