I decided since I haven't had the money to go out and have my son's 3yr old pics taken that I would try to take a few myself. I had a large piece of off white fabric that I was using for rough drafts of my Halloween costumes that I used for my backgrounds. However with my low-light house I had to use my flash and every lamp I have to get enough light on the pictures. This of course washed him out a bit. I did a little work on it but I'm not completely satisfied with this shot. I know a lot of you ladies work some wonderful magic with your edits and was hoping you could work a little for me. I'm gonna try to attach the original picture plus my edit. TIA!

Here's my play.  It's not perfect and possibly a little overdone, but I'm not good at editing the backdrop type shots.  Lol!  But I think it's an improvement either way.  Email me if you want the full size at momaziggy @ yahoo . com.  If not, no worries!  :O)

Thanks! I think it looks a ton better. :o) At least its all one lighting tone instead of dark with washed out spots :o) Its really unfortunate that our fall has been way to rainy or I'd get him outside for some nice leafy shots. And you'll be getting an email from me for sure!

No prob!  It took a lot of different layers and masking, but will hopefully be something to work with now!  :O)
