This is what I came up with - I'll keep playing. Excited to learn the bw stuff in levels - I've wanted to edit like her set for a set for my girls for years now! Thanks!

Thank you, no rush - I'm off to bed! I appreciate you taking a look and offering some guidance with these!

Yes, definitely has more punch/crisp.... May I ask what method you are trying? Thank You! Will I learn about they eyes in levels? right now I rely on an action and I'd like to learn the style similar to hers from scratch.

That seems similar!

Or these?

either of these adequate enough to give a shot?

closer? If not, I'll keep digging.

this one is close I think: http://www.katetparkerphotography.com/PORTFOLIO/95 though less punchy than the others.

This one: http://www.katetparkerphotography.com/PORTFOLIO/19 Or: http://www.katetparkerphotography.com/STRONG-IS-THE-NEW-PRETTY/2 Or maybe this one? https://www.google.com/search?q=strong+is+the+new+pretty&espv=2&rlz=1C1SFXN_enUS526US664&biw=1366&bih=662&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj08KbEybPQAhWf0YMKHdijAc8QsAQILA&dpr=1#tbm=isch&q=kate+t+parker&imgrc=FI1_t4uJGD35jM%3A

This one has a bright outdoor background, but she has freckles again... http://www.katetparkerphotography.com/STRONG-IS-THE-NEW-PRETTY/79 Will this work to show what I mean?

Ok, this one is similar but without the emphasis on the freckles... http://www.katetparkerphotography.com/PORTFOLIO/73 or this one in color: http://www.katetparkerphotography.com/STRONG-IS-THE-NEW-PRETTY/38 So, after you let me in levels, I will be able to recreate this type of crisp edit? Does that mean you can't show me here because it is class content? Thanks! I'm plugging away to get in there. Was just hoping to see what you came up with here - love her style!

No, I think she brought them out extremely. I know this child doesn't have prominent freckles, but am interested in the overall edit and technique of the punchy-ness of the details.

It is from Kate Parker's "Strong is the New Pretty" series which is a huge inspiration for me. I love her punchy edits, especially her black and white with striking eyes and freckles. I hope the above link works. This one from her site is similar but with a wide angle lens: http://www.katetparkerphotography.com/PORTFOLIO/7 I am attaching an image I'd like to try it on. Thanks!

Every day. I think I did something when I went in to make either the white balance sheet or a flyer I had to make for an event?

Nevermind, after a restart of my computer it is now showing up again. ?
