Comment by Jutilda:
Normally I wouldn't be particularly crazy about the soft/blur sense of it but it suits this shot. I might do a selective color adjustment of neutral and back off of the black. It might illuminate her face a bit. OR do a duplicate layer in screen mode and fade til you get it a bit brighter but not too much so. What a sweet girl.

Oh Roz! This is PERFECT!!! You captured a moment in time -- and this is the kind of photo that far FAR outweighs any need to be technically perfect! It is so full of childhood. So full of innocence. Such a moment! This is truly one of my favorites! I love how the others' little lips are "blowing" even tho they aren't anywhere near the bubbles :)

This is PRICELESS! It doesn't need a THING changed!

have you been getting tips on your tones from Bucket or something? this is good.
a little blurred around the edges for my taste but its the effect you were obviously trying to achieve.
very nice

Just gorgeous, Roz! I love this, especially the kid with his head hanging down. I think he's starting to get impatient "Aaawww, when is it gonna be my turn!!" hehe, great stuff!!! Nice work with the PP too!!

Sweet, sweet as can be, as this is a really fine "candid" image, that you have captured here Roz.....
I just love the look on all their faces, very sweet, and so appealing.

Love the attention on the eyes. So sweet (and both are my kiddos are thumbsuckers, darnit, but I do think it's super cute!).

Jeeez! What a heart stopping photo! I can't help it, but I think babies sucking their thumbs -- or even pacifiers -- are so adorable. The cute factor goes off the chart for me!

This is so real and so beautiful!

you really have a lovely way of making something you call "boring" and turning it into something quite interesting. love the light and shadows on the leaves.

woman you are so critical of yourself! this is cool. is it the same photo? blurred regular size on the bottom and a smaller version on top? love the alignment between the background pic and the foreground pic. i'll have to try this some day.
