I have many old pixs of the kids when they were young. I must copy and PS them. Nice PS work. :-)

I am not sure at all what you are looking for here. Kudos?
Not from me:
- You killed the children with the tone adjustment.
- The choice of uncluttered background is poor.
- The masking is not good, look at the hairs that went missing, especially on the boy on the left. Curls on the girl's right side are gone.
If one can see that on a ridiculous thumbnail size, imagine what can be found, had you posted the originals.
This is what you get in the photo analysis forum: an analysis w/o comment on nostalgia or potential cuteness.

Sorry didn't realize I was in wrong forum I will take better care in the future where I post....thanks for pointing this out to me...as for the picture Im about to give up was just trying to re-do an old faded photo and I think its a hopeless cause. I have tried to fix the errors that were pointed out and I just get back to the old picture..

Why is your demeanor always in the nasty mode.

Totally agree with you,English Wolf seems to take pleasure in belittling folks without constructive critizism. Admin should get on this as he is a poor representitive for UHH

I think the original pic is just fine. Sometimes the picture is what it is. The only thing I would do is clone same color over the bright light found in the upper right hand corner. By taking away too much from the photo you steal away part of the memory. Don't be discouraged there are many photo opportunities in your future where your editing expertise will flourish!!! keep up the good work and keep posting! Blessings to you! Angie

Big difference? Why can't one be honest without being harsh? 8-)

I don't think you are wrong in this case at all. I applaud you. Isn't it rather interesting that EW has never posted a picture for any kind of critique?
Anyway, good for you Coco, and Kruse, never feel bullied by anyone in here. Let them huff and puff, they can't blow anything down. 8-)
