Fix it Friday #85

I'm participating in Fix-it Friday #85 a I heart faces! 

Before:

 After:

 I used Picasa first to crop in, adjust fill light and color temperature.  Then I used picnik advanced tools to brighten eyes and dodged around the outer part of the eyes.  I also did light airbrushing on the face to lighten the food stains ;-) 

I love babies!  What a cutie patootie! 

How would you adjust the photo?  What editing software is your favorite?

Here is the original photo: 

Isn't this little model just adorable!?! 

Here is the photo with my edits:

• Adjusted fill lighting and highlighting using Picasa
• Applied Velvia using Picnic.
• Dodged shadows using Picnic.  I am not that great at this but this cutie patooties face needed something done with the shadows so I tried ;o)
• Brightened/Lightened eyes using Picnic.
• Cropped out the light to the right using Picnic.  Considered cropping in on this sweetie's face but those tosies are just 2 cute!

What do you think?  What type of edits would you have made to improve this photograph?

The following are my edits.  I had a hard time deciding which one I liked best.  I did not have a hard time editing the picture.  I only used one type of 'fix' if you will, through picnik.com on each photo. 

Edit 1: Faded Daguerrotype

 

 Edit 2: Cross Process (I think this one is my favorite after having them all side by side)

 Edit 3:  Polychromed Yellow (I've grown to love this 'action' on many photos lately.  I really like the warmth it adds to the photo)

 Edit 4: Lomoish  My go to favorite action through picnik.  Though I often tone it down.

Which edit do you like best?
