365 Day Project - Day 337

Our little cowboy.

Here's Julian, looking as country as his poor ol' Mamma could ever ask for (although a hat and a piece of straw-in-mouth would have really been the icing on the cake.)

Linking this up to to Paper Mamma's touch up Tuesday.

Here's the original:

For the final edit, I ran Coffee Shop Press' creamy chocolate black and white action... blended the chocolate with soft light to 100 percent, turned down the creamy, burned in the wrinkles in the T-shirt and dodged out the detail in the boots, bumped up the contrast a little more and added a light vignette, all in an attempt to give it a dustier, old Western feel.

I only wish that ghastly shadow weren't so distracting... still in need of purchasing a bounceable flash for dim-light situations.

Anywhoo, let me know what you think of the finished product!
