POTD Jan 13th

My only willing subject today! My middle son Brady. Poor kid! I always pick on him when I know no one else will cooperate. I just love photography him because of his eyes!!! Thanks for peeking and CC!! **I just noticed I am way into the angle thing. I better fix that huh? LOL**

For PPing, I cropped it in, then I used Jess's Color Me Happy action and Vintage photo action and adjusted it to my liking. Then I ran Jess's Major Sharpener and waalaaa!
18-70mm ISO200 f/5.6

That came out looking awesome. . . this week's theme is really fun. Maybe I'll have to stick to it tomorrow (??) ;)

Love the pop that it has now!

Very nice effect! But I'm also surprised with how much I like the first one as well. however, there's a bluish tint to the first one; is it suppose to be white? It would be nice to see how it turned out with just slight editing on the first one, adjusting the jacket color, brightening his eyes, and comparing this one also to your 2nd photo. But then, we can all play endlessly with each photo, can't we!
