 levels, cloned girl's left eye a little to brighten, multiplied the image onto itself twice, at 61%.

Added an overlay at 100%. Brightened the overlay & blurred it a little.

Here's the original:

and here's the texture used:

I don't know about the technique on this picture - it doesn't look the way I hoped it would!

This is a very subtle overlay which enhances the image and theres nothing wrong with that ;)

awesome work... this one really pops out at you, and its great that you have been able to capture so much emotion in one photograph.

The effect of the overlay is very subtle in terms of adding texture, but the deepened tones in the edited version really do enhance the image. A nicely captured, spontaneous moment.

yes comparing the original with the one you put the texture in there's a subtle difference ... the textured one looks more gungy .. they look like a very happy pair !! :)

ah...I appreciate the update on the comments - glad I came back. I struggled to see the texture too. I see enhancement in the back ground. It's a great shot for starters...now you have the whole month to dive in! Go for it!

Thanks for your comments KaDi! I've never used overlays before, so I was probably being timid about this. I was thinking about the possiblity of getting a "dappled sunlight" effect at first, but then when that didn't seem to be working I just went for the "interesting background." I'm inspired the images in this thread & intend to step up the textures tomorrow!

Lovely double portrait!

The overlay is very subtle. It does seem to enhance the background making it more lively. I notice where the original is white (or very light) the overlay won't have an effect. Could you post your texture, too, so we can see what you were working with?
