Blend of mother and child with flowers that grow wild in southwestern Minnesota.
Blue tone adjustment. First one was a little too pink for a boy.
Mom sent me this childhood photo: Cute, but his eyes are closed.
Another cute pic with his eyes open: Hmmm, missing the chubby little hands on the swing rope.

Photoshop to the rescue. Took his right eye and put it on the closed eye photo. Copied that eye, flipped it, put it on his left eye and adjusted to look natural. Toned down some of the skin glare, adjusted color balance and here we go. A cute little guy with his eyes ready to see what the world has to offer.
Eighteen years later and here he is again… Open eyes, ready to see what the world has to offer…
Go, take on the world!

The couple captured in this image appear so passionate for one another and oblivious to the world around them. Photo was taken in Salamanca, Spain with a little point and shoot camera. Nothing fancy. Blended in Photoshop CS5 with prairie grasses captured against the summer sun.
Yep… all you need is love.
