POTD - 2/4/08

Schyler has been wanting to get her hair cut, so today we went to the salon. She wanted the photo on the right of this book. The hairstylist measured her hair and said she could donate 6" to Locks of Love. As you can see, her hair is much shorter than the photo. She didn't actually explain that until after she cut!
Anyway after a few tears, I explained that once we got home and could style it, she would like it. As you can see with the smile, she's happy now.
Because her arms were up on this shot, it caused a red kind of shadow on her neck. It actually looks like a rash, but it's not. Is there a way to fix that without having to clone? I tried cloning and made it worse.
I wish I would have had her turn her head towards the window a little more. The light would have hit her other eye where her nose dips (learned that during Wendy's class) of course I didn't bother to do it!

I have a haircut on my blog too:) For the red...you could desaturate the red on a different layer and then, "erase" back in the normal coloring at an opacity of your liking. Honestly though...it does not look bad at all.
