Una foto fantastica, mi sorprende che non abbia ricevuto nessun premio: č fantastica la colorazione che punta tutta so toni magenta, dando un'impressione quasi surreale del momento.
Bello anche l'accostamento del bambino con la natura un connubio perfetto.

Hi Sarah,
I like what Kathy did with it. Maybe you could continue on with that theme, more of a silhouette? Personally I like the darker colors better than the red. Sounds like you are getting lots of help here! Terrific.

Hi Sarah!
I took this to PS and did some work. I couldn't seem to do much with it in color, but this is what I came up with. Probably isn't at all what you have in mind, but what the heck! I lost a lot of quality with the cut/paste/resave stuff, but at least you get the idea!
Blessings to you!
Kathy

Hi Sarah, first of all let me tell you that you have a beautiful name. I've always loved it...This is a great idea for learning, and a wonderful image..her pose is lovely, and I like the various shapes, and forms of the flowers, grasses, silhouetted, very nice...sorry I'm not much help with the flare, I think I would have tried to clone it out myself...I like the colors and the mood here, I like the backlighting in her hair, and I don't think you needed the profile here...she's enjoying the beauty of the moment and you captured that well...:):)Linda

Agree, it`s a nice image anyway but you ask for a PS technique for flare removal.
The clone stamp is a good idea, as Bikas pointed out. However, with other motifs may have more texture in the flare area and cloning is a quite brute method sometimes. But look @ the clone stamp options, normally below the menu bar @ the top. You can chose several modes in the "effect mode" window, default is "normal". Change it to "Luminosity", and clone only the luminance values into the flared region. Oops- looks awful, but now clone again with "Color" mode, and the flare is gone, but the structure remained untouched.
To pull out some detail out of the shadows here, there is an old technique called "Contrast Mask": First, create a duplicate layer. Desaturate it (Image > Adjustments > Desaturate). Invert it (Image > Adjustments > Invert). Change the blending mode in the Layers palette from normal to soft light. Then blur the mask (filter > blur > Gaussian blur), try out the best blur radius using the preview box checked. Here I set it to 10 pixels. Finally, finetune the effect with the opacity slider of the blurred mask in the layers palette (I set it to 70%), and then Layer > Flatten image to apply the mask effect.
Cheers
Carsten

Sarah, I don't think the flare is a real problem here! It's a very tasteful photo, and you really captured the moment. Okay, maybe without the flare it would technically be better, but I like this too.

Hello Bikas,
Oh no! The title wasn't for anything but HELP and that was all the intent implied. I would like to repost w/o the flare! Thank you very much for your time and critique! I truly am stuck! I will be trying what you suggested, this is how I learn! :-) Best regards.

Hello Sarah,
very cleverly captioned photo .. so it could get the highest view mark ... however, this picture is excellent and awesome ... why you need to remove that flare!! ... anyway, what i did is select the stamp tool and filled up the flared area cautiously and finally burnt down the lower area slightly ... you can try it .... very easy ...
best,
yours,
Bikas
