Fireflies Daddy

[MatchlessArts]

One from my family shoot with a little pazazz!

I personally love the way this turned out, what do you all think?

Really neat image. I like it. The uniform adds something too.

Here is the colored version then a 3 piece of the Original, Colored, then B&W. Enjoy

To the far left is the original, I did not like the way It turned out so I decided to go a different route.

The image I captured was great but the coloring needed work. I just bumped up the curves to darken the shadows then added some curves and hue n saturation adjustment layers to obtain the warm look.

After that I used masks to select the areas I wanted to color more like skin or grass.

After this I added in soft balls to represent fireflies then I used dodge to brighten them. All of this for a final haze look which I love .
