I know I have posted this one before of my little Morgan in the tub, but this time I used the Blue Channel Mixer & a bit of Contrast.

Really brings out the eyes, might be a tad too dark but I like it that way rather than too light.

Mic. :wink:

Those are really huge eyes which is what I like about photos with kids, if an adult did that, you'd think they were on pills :D Love the highlights in the eyes, really brings it to life.

Agreed that it's tad bit too dark. Maybe try a bit lighter and create a new layer, gaussian blur it and make it as an overlay (or soft light) to soften the photo up a bit :)

I'll try that little experiment.

Cheers,

Mic. :wink:

Love the shot and I think the darkness makes it 'feel' sharper and adds to the look. I wouldn't change it a bit. It really pops for me
