This week's photo came from Sarah Halstead who blogs at Loving My Life. The little cutie-pie is her son, Dustyn. Sarah wrote that she was "having issues with overexposure in the top left corner and with blemishes on his face." Here is this weeks SOOC.
First off I use PSE7. I did a creative crop to clear out the blown area. Fixed the face blemish, etc. Then I ran Noiseware on it, perked it up, dodged some of the face shadows, ran Coffeeshop powder room. Adjusted the layers for him and then the background seperatly masking each layer differently. I also fixed the face and warmed it up a bit, but being uncalibrated I am unsure of if it is too light. I probably messed with the saturation and hues as well. Then I ran Noiseware again lightly to smooth out the edits.
Overall I am pleased with the edit. I would have liked to clone in the grass better from another image since when I did the creative crop I had to edit in some additional grass. I also think his face is still maybe a pinch to light. The noiseware I just purchased yesterday and still am trying to learn it all. So he may be a bit over-smoothed, but I did pull it back after noiseware ran on a duplicate copy. If anyone uses this I would love a tutor. :) I have read what I can find about it, but I think I have to just work it out.

I love how smooth his face looks and his eyes look amazing. Great job on the crop. Thanks for taking the time to edit my little guys picture. :)
BTW your girls are so precious. I don't know what I would do with 1 set of twins let along 2 sets only 11 months apart, but I bet they all get along great.
