Fix It Friday #72

This week's Fix it Friday picture really touched my heart.  A daddy and his little girl.  I am a daddy's girl and this instantly makes me smile.  Every girl should have a daddy that adores them. And the look on his face pretty much says it all.  Very emotional image.  I myself love this image in black and white.  Some photos are  just better in black and white.

Here is the original:

My color edit:
Steps
1. open image isn cs4
2. sharpened image and cropped
3. brightened image
4. dodge/burn where needed
5. s curve pop
6. light facial retouching
7. flatten and save


Then turned that image into black and white using my own action:

Head on over to I Heart Faces to see more edits!

The first one is beautiful, but I have to agree with you. Some pictures are just a little more touching in black and white. Amazing job!!

Thanks for working on my picture! I agree, this one just feels like a B&W. Your edit gives it a rawness that I think compliments the emotion well.
