Nikki with Ian and Lexy

Some cloning. Having fun exploring possibilities. Same shot of kids as in the previous post, only re-placed mother Nikki. I want to thank everyone who has commented on my posts recently. I'm behind in my comments even more than usual, I'm afraid..but hope to remedy that soon. Thanks all! ;0)

Another great portrait, Julie. Did you clone in Nikki in this photo or clone her out in the other one? These should be on a wall.

Excelent processing work.

Yep, Nikki perfectly fills the dark gap between the kids in the previous picture, nicely balancing the divergence of the children`s eyes.

A good sense of flow created by the gazes of the children with the mother looking in the direction of the photographer (the viewer) working to anchor the picture in my mind. The light works well to highlight the features of the family trio.

Very nice, as others have said already.

But now you've got me mixed up. Is this the original?

I like it. The soft smooth colors and tones and great background.

This has now become a lovely family group shot - well done Julie!

I thank you all for the very nice comments! I appreciate it so much.

Tommy and Linda: Yes, I cloned Nikki (mother) out of the first post of just the kids. I tried it out for her, so she'd have one of just the two kids and I thought it turned out well enough, so I posted it first, then decided to put the whole family up for the "before" comparison. '0)

Lovely family grouping. Makes me look again at the earlier post, and realize what a good job you did editing it!

Totally lovely. You did a good job on that previous post, I can't decide myself if I prefer any of them over the other!

Nice lighting, love the individual expressions on each person, the toning is even and it's colorful but distracting
