A couple of days ago I shared this photo as my SOOC:
I liked it....a lot. I maybe should've tried editing a photo before choosing a SOOC for this challenge, because I had a hard time with this one. Here's what I came up with:
I warmed it up in Camera Raw, cropped, added a soft light layer at about 70%, and added a screen layer at 33%.
Then just for fun...I added PW Seventies Action, Betty Jo's Dirty Linen (yes....I use this a LOT...I love the fabricy / canvasy look).
Then I added the text.

My dream is to grow as a photographer. I LOVE capturing the world through my lens, I am constantly surprised at what I've been capable of so far.....and I have so much to learn. I love capturing my children, and I hope to have some beautiful images of their daily lives, not just the "dolled up" moments, but everyday snapshots turned beautiful.

I love what you've done with textures but seriously, just those few small enhancements really made your photo pop. I was the same way with my SOOC shot but processing doesn't mean that you have to over-do it, just make it a little better. I like to think of it as my modern dark room! Have an awesome day!
I love the quote you used - beautiful. I love the SOOC too and the soft edit you did. What Ashley said is spot on :-)
Thanks again for joining us!
Blessings,

Great edit! Love the texture!
Thanks for the step by step. Really nice edit!
I love what you did with it. :)
You amaze me! This is gorgeous!
Oh, it's lovely!! I think I especially like that you cropped it. The SOOC is so very lovely, but I think bringing it closer really made a great difference! Love all of the texture!
This is really wonderful!! Love the textured look!
wow what a difference. i love the edit. great job.
The first edit is absolutely gorgeous, it really makes everything pop!!! Love the texture you used & the quote is one of my favorites! All are gorgeous (as always), just like you! I hope you're having a great week! xo
OooOo so pretty! LOVE your editing :)
Great job. I love the finished product..and the quote.
I think you really did a great job with that photo!
I love how that seedhead popped in your edit and how you used those different textures. I love that linen texture by Betty Jo aswell on my painterly photographs.
I love the texture! Great edits.
Oh I love how you cropped it in to get tight on the subject! It really made a huge difference! And that texture is really beautiful!
You did a really great job brings out those lost colors. Love the quote you added to the final photo
Great job! Sometimes challenges are nice...right? :) I like the edits with texture, but I love the clean edit.
very nice.
Gorgeous! I love the edit with the texture!
ALL gorgeous! I just love the colors of the first one you did! :)
Loved the final product.
Your first edit - the "clean-up" one - Perfect!! I love the warm colors on the cold subject!
That's also a pretty neat texture you used!
And I'm no pro, but I've realized that more of the "simple" clean edits are all that's needed, and not even that sometimes! And if you do keep shooting, you'll learn more and more and you will have a great story to show of your kids' growing up!
so pretty!
Amazing edit and I love the textures.
Very lovely edits!
I love your first edit because of the way the details and the color just pop out, but I love your additional edits too, they're all great! Thank you for sharing!
