This is my first time doing Fix-It Friday over at iheartfaces! Since I'm always playing in Photoshop anyway I decided to give it a try! I'm a little intimated by other entries but it's all for good fun! Plus I will only learn by challenging myself!
Here is the original photo:
And here are my edits:
I used Photoshop Elements 8. I didn't write down how my edits, sorry.
She is so beautiful and I had fun fixing up the photo!
So what do you think? I'd love any feedback- good and helpful ;)

WOW WOW WOW! Love them both, but that close up is amazing! Seriously.
I love the close up too! Gorgeous!
Goorrrgeeous! I love the color in the close up! Do you use any tutorials or anything or do you just figure it out as you go? I just got PSE 9 and am completely dumbfounded as to how to do anything with it, ha!
Wow! Amazing! You inspire me! I'm a big fan now!
I love the first one. Nice crop. My feedback would have been to darken down and/or blur the leaves on the left a little bit. Maybe also put more of a yellow hue in the greens, since the green tones look much cooler than she does right now. Right now they're distracting the eye from her face.
Also you picked up a little bit of noise when you sharpened the image, it looks like, around the edges of her coat especially. Using a noise reduction program might help the pop and get rid of that little bit of ghosting around the edge.
The B&W is great although my personal taste is to have more contrast in B&Ws. I like my blacks black. But that's a personal preference.
Overall, great job!
Beautiful edits! Love the black & white shot. Oooh and you doggy... so cute!!
Aw, look at your doggy...too adorable!!! Thanks for entering!
Such a cute puppy! So festive :)
I love your crop in the edit and your puppy is soooo adorable!
Oh my, your edit is beautiful! I love the crop!
Thanks for commenting on my "Nice to meet you" post! I have no idea how I haven't found your blog back, but just the other day I came across it and LOVE IT! So I followed you back! Man, I've been missing out!
And I just want to love squeeze that doggy of yours!!!
I can tell you really tried and since you asked for feedback and seem to really want it, I'll give it.
Overall you did a nice job! I agree with what MsRantyPants said. Plus I would suggest not over-brightening the image. I think you "clipped" some spots on her face.
your shots are gorgeous!! what lenses do you use? love the edits. so smooth & subtle, yet just the right amount of fixing-up :)
love it girl! i've always wanted to participate in an iheartfaces challenge, maybe you'll inspire me!
also, roxy has got it in the bag - she is seriously the cutest pup everrrrr!
I like both edits but the crop and color on the first are gorgeous! I love it. What a fun picture to work with!

Thanks for entering the giveaway Jeska! Good luck!
Your puppy is so cute. Great edits too.
LOVED the first edits. I think the color you brought to her face is incredible. Maybe I should check out elements! I ve never used it before.
