the edited photo above....too much contrast? too dark?
the original--James LOVES shovels and brooms. When he sees them he says, "Da -da!!" very excitedly. He feels like the king of the world when he gets to carry them around.....but back to photo editing.
Part of my beef with editing photos is that I'm indecisive about what it is I really like...the above picture is after some tweaking. It's lighter, his eyes show more reflection...perhaps too washed out?
...but I sorta liked the contrast in this one, the original. What sweet cheeks!

I don't really care about the lighting or contrast! I just like seeing pics of James!!! :) He's so cute!
I think you're doing a great job editing. Here's my "two cents": If, when bumping up the contrast, you begin to see areas that are ultra washed out - you may want to consider bumping it down due to the fact that the "hot areas" tend to become the focus point. The picture(s) of James in the window are a great example. I love the overall look of the first photo but agree that his cheek are adorable in the second. I would have kept the contrast of the first photo and simply adjusted the saturation of the red hues to highlight his cheeks. Great pictures!
I like the non-edited version of this one. Lightening all those shadows away loses some of the depth around his cheeks, which of course are seriously cute. :)
