I heart Faces- Fix it Friday

So a friend of mine showed me this site and I have been checking it out for some neat ideas on editing, so this week I thought I would give it a go and do their "Fix-it Friday"

This is the original photo:

And here is my version:

So here is what I did for this photo.

1. I adjusted the exposure and contrast.

2. I softened the area around the boy to bring attention to his face.

3. I used a black and white program with a vignette and removed some of the fade so it had a little more color.

4. Lastly I went back to my coloring and fixed a little more the temperature making it a -5.

Hope you enjoy and you can check out all the fabulous fixes at I heart faces link above!
