Before - SOOC, f/4, 1/100, ISO 1600, External flash fired. 24-70 2.8L lens. This isn't a great shot but I LOVE how excited she is so I wanted to try and improve it.
After - Cropped, defog, Noiseware, slightly adjusted levels and curves and sharpened for the web. The skin tone is correct, but the snow is still a little too blue. However, it is in the evening so that is probably close to what it looked like (or wishful thinking on my part?).
Before - SOOC, f/7.1, 1/125, ISO 100. Tamron 18-200 lens. I took this shot this past fall and I like it well enough as is, but wanted something more dramatic & painterly to frame.
So, After - I ran a defog and used the Orton Technique with a little burning.
Before - I used these 2 photos used to make a photo montage to try and learn digital scrapbooking. Both are SOOC, so had to run Noiseware on the first one and then used Brenda's B&W action on both of them. Top photo with 24-70 2.8L lens, bottom with 100mm macro lens.
After - a lot of foul language was involved in trying to create this! I really want to do some hybrid scrapping as I love the idea of combining digital elements with my love of the traditional scrapping, but I think digital scrapping has a much bigger learning curve than I'm prepared for! Any good digital scrapbooking for CS2/3 books out there??? (I have the Scott Kelby & Martin Evening Books but want something specifically for scrapbooking.)

Love your photos. Your daughter on the sled is a keeper! The photo with your daughter and the flower looks incredible!
Your colors in the fall scene are simply stunning! I'm usually not a fan of the Orton technique, but I really like it on this one!
