Excellent work! Especially the child in the pool. I really like the edit. If you can't tell, I'm partial to toned images. The only addition I might throw out there is to look at softening the shot even more. Glam glow, diffusion, etc....work great on these types of shots. Darkens up the mid tones a bit and softens the look overall. May come across a tad dark onscreen but the gamut for monitors is low compared to prints.

 

I'd say it's one of the best shots we've seen put in this section yet. Nicely done!

 

Here's a very quick edit in the form of an animated comparison. Colors are limited as are details, but you get the point.

I agree, the monitor makes it hard sometimes, I like your version more, I use lightroom primarily for editing, I am not good enough with photoshop yet. What did you use to make it a little darker like that?

I used a Glamor Glow filter that I have tweaked to fit my use. The top photo with the flame makes me wonder what it would look like colorized a bit.

That's the sculpture of the sails of the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria that was put up for AmeriFlora in 1992 in Franklin Park.

I can give you the raw if you wanna play with it, just pm me an email. I have messed with that a little and was actually gonna try it on that photo, but there is a reflection of fire that I didn't know if I should give color to or not.
