Week 3 of Shoot and Edit- Edited

I loved the poses in the pics, but the backgrounds and colors of their comforters and pillows made me feel the scene was too busy. So, I tried to come up with ways to "unbusy" them and get the focus back on my main subjects- my sons. Here are my edits-click on picture to see a larger version:
What I did:
*Brightened in Lightroom
*White Balance
*In PSE7-PW Lovely & Erethral and PW Edge Burn

What I did:
* In Lightroom- White Balance and Brightened
* In PSE7- Added a texture (20%) from online-free, then used the eraser on my son's head and hands.(My first time using a texture)
* PW Edge Burn (30%)
* Inserted scripture verse

Great job!! I love how the colors pop and the focus is drawn to the boy! :)

And I love the verse you put on the 2nd edit. I'm not creative enough to remember that I can add words to my photos that enhance them. :) (unless if that's my specific purpose, which it is sometimes!)
