Before & After #8 / A Boy & A Tractor

This week's before & after is a little more drastically edited than normal...guess I was in that kind of mood. I need something fancy after all the rodeo pictures I've been staring at! If you take a look at the whole session, you'll see he's even cuter without all the texture distracting from his blue eyes. But this was the very first snap I took of him behind that wheel, sort of as a light test, and it was a little bland for my liking. I liked his expression and hand placement too much to trash it, and out came this. (click read more to see the before!)

    What a unique kind of angle and "prop" you were able to work with. I like the sooc but the edit is really nice!

    What a great shot! Love the warmth in the edit and I think the vignetting adds to the overall effect too.
