I am REALLY bad at editing photos like this. Here is what I came up with. It's pretty bad, but now you can see the babies face. Not very many points for style with my edit...I just made adjustments in LR. Used the adjustment brush to change the exposure on the face and arms. I then adjusted the Luminance of the dress. Lastly, did a little Split Toning.

ok so i used picnik (Free version) on this one since im at work and dont have access to my photoshop. :o)
i lightend exposure and highlights a little, desaturated, sharpend, then went back and lightly smoothed the face, used the "cross process" to about 89% for vintage look and added just a touch of a dark brown vignette at like 70 something percent.
black & white process then added a touch of sepia process for warmth, lighten exposure
not terrible for free! lol
DONT FORGET: send me your photos so we can have something else to edit other than my photos!

So I'm not good at all with editing in general. However I do like this little program I've used called Photoscape. You can do basic editing nothing like Photoshop but it works pretty well. I really like the vintage photo look you can work with. That's basically all I did with this was give a vintage look and adjusted the sharpness a little.

I use Lightroom 2, I increased the exposure so the babies face could be seen more clearly. Took the "temp" a little cooler, upped the clarity, a smidge of fill light. Split toned with a light green and blue. Bumped up contrast and brightness. Decreased Saturation. Also played with tone curve..
Then I took the photo to cs2. Brightened the eyes. Brightened the whole photo, and then adjusted skin tone.
I know I did a little bit of everything, but in my opinion, I did this to focus more on the baby's face. It's a little warm but that could be adjusted if one didn't like the look!

I just did some color correction and white balance adjustments in Aperture. I didn't want to crop anything since my assumption was to keep as much of the dress as possible.
