BO9 Project
I love this picture but there were a few things that that I wanted to do so that that focal point could be more on the face and not on the distraction that are going on around my son.
I went in into Camera Raw filter and increased the shadow so that his face was not as dark. I also played with the histogram to lighten up my sons face.
After that I There was a lot of gunk on his face from playing all day. So I used three different tools(clone stamp tool, Spot healing brush tool, and healing brush tool) to clean up around his nose, and left eye.
There was a little sun flare on his hat so I used clone stamp tool, Spot healing brush tool, and healing brush tool to edit out the sun flare
Also AI wanted to practice using the clone stamp tool, Spot healing brush tool, and healing brush tools so I edited out a person on the right in the background, and chair on left so that the focal point more could be on the my and not what is directly behind him but still maintain some of that activity behind him so that it did take away from the fun.
I had a blast learning out to use these tools but I can tell it will take a lot of practice to become really good at them.
