If youd dont mind I will give it a shot, I will use the original to get the best edit. PS it is a very very cute picture and very well taken, love the bokeh

Nice work with removing the background objects but doesn't the baby look too bright? and the eyebrows and face is almost completely without detail.



I took combined the original image with the new and painted in the old face with a low opacity. I think it looks better but maybe it doesn't. It's fun anyway.
