Welcome to DPS!
Interesting treatments you have done here!

I liked the aging effect you put on the first picture but think the crop is a little tight on the left, right, and bottom. Personal opinion.

Not sure if the selective colorization works for the second picture though. Those are my thoughts. What did you use to edit?

I like what you did to the first one to remove all distraction and place the focus on the precious moment.

The BW treatment on the second works great. I personally think straight BW, but that's just a personal thing.

Cute pics, and you did a great job transforming them from ordinary to something better!

Nice work !!!!

PSE to edit....I was just trying the selective color to practice. Doesn't seem to really fit this shot but I wanted to see what the beads looked like. Thanks for your reply

Nice treatments here I would have only done the necklace or hair band in the second though as the two draw eyes all over rather than around the pic... the first maybe loosen the crop a touch to get all of both bags in but lovely none the less well done
