Michelle’s daughter is so gorgeous, isn’t she? I didn’t see much that needed changing (don’t I always say that?), so once again, I just had a little fun with it.
Using Lightroom 2
I just ran a preset I created which bumped up the blacks a little, increased brightness and contrast, increased clarity and vibrance, and utilized gray highlights and dark purple shadows.
I really just wanted to make her beautiful blue eyes, porcelain skin and stunning auburn hair POP! off of the computer screen. Seriously, Michelle, you should try to bottle up her hair color and sell it – it’s a color many women dream about.
Using Photoshop Elements 5.0
I used the sharpen tool on her eyes to bring out those beautiful catchlights.
Thank you for the beautiful model, Michelle!
