Friday already?! Another week that just flew by! This week's photo for
Fix-it Friday was taken by Melanie from
Blogging Mum. I love the tight crop, but that also limits what you can do with it a little bit. Let's see what I can come up with!
Original:
Fix #1:
For this fix, I:
- Cropped tighter.
- Flipped to make it a mirror image.
- Increased the brightness.
- Converted to black & white.
- Reduced noise.
- Increased contrast.
But I wasn't really happy with the result, so I started from scratch and tried again.
Fix #2:
For fix #2, I:
- Increased brightness.
- Rotated slightly.
- Cropped.
- Decreased saturation on everything but the eyes.
- Reduced noise.
- Increased contrast.
This week's photo was a tough one for me. I can't say that I
love either of my fixes really. But looking back at them, I think I like the first better than the second. I tend to gravitate to black & white though.
Which do you like best?

I like the b&w too. I like that crop also - making it landscape rather than portrait.
The b&w is my fave, but that's because I'm a b&w fanatic! Both edits are super. I like the way you flipped the photo. ♥
Love your black and white edit :) You can barely see any noise in it. Great job!
I really like your crops!
I like the B&W too, so pretty!
oh, I thought about cropping, but it was so tight already. I like it though! the flip really works on this one!
I really struggled with this one too - there was so much noise but you did a great job reducing that!
I love the B&W one! Also, good thinking flipping the photo and cropping, I like how it brings the focus inwards.

The B&W is my fave but I also gravitate towards the B&W's. They both look great though!
Once I figure out how to use my Photoshop I'll have to try this out haha. :)
i thought the black and white was perfect!
I like the first edit better.
I love the crop on the first picture!
I think I need to come to you for editing advice! I got Photoshop Elements for Mother's Day, and I don't have a clue what I'm doing!
I really like the crop on the first one -- it's like a totally different expression!
I love the crop on the first one- very creative! :)
Beautiful work! I'm a fan of your work now!
LOVE the crop on the first one! Fabulous!!
i also LOVE your crop on the first edit! great job.
I like how you made it different by switching the photo around. The crops are great too. Great work
Love the BW and crop!
please take a look at my edits and let me know what you think {all pointers/tips welcome}
