This is What Handsome Looks Like | Before & After Blog Hop

It's Thursday! Which means it's time for one of my fave (and most participated in) blog hops! Pixel Perfect's Before & After Blog Hop!








Monika, over at Pixel Perfect is gracious enough to host the hop. Visit her and link up your OWN Before & After!!

{BEFORE}

I snapped this pic of Joshua in the Pittsburgh Zoo parking lot while Mel was unloading the girls. I had just unpacked my camera and was just messing around with it to see how the settings I had it on looked.

Another one of those random shots that was a happy accident! :)

I LOVED it the minute I saw it in the view finder. I wasn't pleased with the composition, but he had the sweetest smile! ^_^

I used DPP for RAW editing and Photoshop Elements 7 to crop and do final adjustments.

 {AFTER}

I've somewhat been on a black&white kick lately. I couldn't help but converting this one. :)

That is very cool! I am getting into photo editing, but I don't have photoshop:( so expensive. How I wish I could do cool things like that, I have to settle for photobucket. Any free photo editing sites? Cool ones like photoshop? Awesome job.

Heather said...

Great pic! The after is great! B&W really looks great with this, too.
Thanks for commenting last week on my before and after- I haven't had much computer time to check out everyone's edits from last week! :)
