Touch Up Tuesday - Ride 'em Cowboy!

Two posts in a row today! 
If you missed it I'd love it if you could take a peek at the pregnancy shoot I did for my sister in law in the post before this one or you can click HERE :) pretty please? lol

On to my touch up!

I was lucky enough to score this old wooden rocking horse off a good friend :) I was actually there to buy her tv unit from her and her Mum asked if I would like the horse too and I said absolutely, already planning a little photo shoot, lol.

Here is the SOOC:


As you can see it needed cropping to get rid of the step and I needed to get rid of the power outlet and the patch on the wall. Plus the focus wasn't very sharp. The light wasn't very good as it was overcast and it's very hard to get a baby to sit still on a rocking horse so I got a bit of blur, especially his hand :/ but it was just too cute not to try and save!

Ta-Da! (as William would say hehe)


I ran Wonder Quickie from Paint The Moon to sharpen and boost the contrast, I used the clone stamp to get rid of the power outlet and the white patch on the wall then I used the Hershey action from Everyday Elements :) 
Don't you want to eat him up!?
I also got a really good one of Charlotte but I'll share that another day :D
