Say Cheese!

I snapped this shot of Noah last week as he was showing me his "cheeeeeese" face. While he can do it on command, it seems to be difficult to catch on camera. As you can see, the original shot is kinda blurry and the snot (and booger) in his nose is very noticeable.

Photobucket

Here is the edited version. I sharpened it up and upped the saturation first to make the green and red on his shirt pop a little more.  I added a blurry edge to fade the background and make his the focus on his face.  While that was a great edit, I added a bronze tint to it and really loved it!!

I love cheese faces! So adorable! What editing software do you use? I've just started playing with PSE (haven't even posted a picture I've played with yet), and I am so completely overwhelmed. (But it might have to do with how little time I have to play with it!)
