Fix-It-Friday

Thought I'd give it a go with I Heart Faces Fix-It-Friday photo. It's my first time, so not sure if the poor quality (pixel-wise) of the photo was something I did incorrectly when downloading. Nevertheless, it was fun to experiment in PS (and even learn a couple new techniques) in order to get an image I was pleased with.

Here is the original:

and this is where I took it:

First I cropped it to get in closer.  Then I applied a "selective sepia" technique I learned from an online tutorial, and burned the edges a bit. I believe I sharpened it up before I flattened it. Love the drama of the red pants. His sweet little face tells me "I'm an explorer!"
