Just sharing some editing before and after. The original photo had the mom in there too... but I saw the potential in the tender moment between the girls. Oh my, were the skin tones in need of some adjustment! But that's almost always how it is. (Perhaps if I took the time to adjust my white balance... but for now I can fit it in PS) Can your eyes see how green their skin looks? How gray and blue? There are too many cool tones in there... some may like that, but it is not my taste! In Photoshop, I boosted the red at least 5 points, decreased the blue at least 5 points...and used a screen layer at least once, adjusting the opacity to taste. (Sorry, I can't remember specifically) I believe a great photograph these days is 50% the shot and 50% the post processing.
