Hi there, I thought the baby's too bright. =D

My suggestions, you could try to reduce the tone of the baby with a little levels adjustments or curves or exposures. And try to color balancing the whole part of your scene with Photo Filters or just play with the channels.

Good luck! Poor baby! Lol!

Hi Hayato!! Thanks for your tips, I've just post the SBS and there you can see I've already used curves and vibrance and saturation... I just don't know how to do it!!
Anyway, I'll keep on playing with the values!!

Hi Author, I love how you trying to balance the images with the SBS provided. It's great with so many experiments already. Love it! But one distracting thing is the hand of the baby (right side of the image) looks so bright... or it's just my monitor screen??

Author, if you apply about 5% of Cooling Filter 82 (Image>Adjustments>Color Filter), you will help get the adjustment for the skin tones and clothing that you need - The baby is too warm toned for the image.

The baby is also too large for its position within the picture. The head is almost as large as the head of the soldier, but he is much closer to the viewer than the baby. If you scale the baby down by about 10% (Edit>Transform>Scale, type in 90% for height and width), you will bring it into better proportion for the image.

You may also want to sparingly use the Dodge tool on the top back of the baby's head to reflect the strong sunlight.

Hope this helps, it's a good concept!

@hayato, I know what you mean. And that highlight wasn't so bright before the curves adjustment layer. I'll try and fix it.

@mossyB thanks for the tips. I'll try them right now!!

Thanks for helping me guys!!

EDIT: Kid's smaller and tried photo filter (3%, 5 it was too much ) I also redid the layer with the dodge, I made it too much the first time. Hope it is better; though here, at the web, it looks darker than in photoshop...

It looks MUCH more realistic. Nice changes!

poor baby...

I love these kinda of pictures,uh finally sees what I like,,but It looks better without the baby haha..I know it's the main purpose of your work..but that's what i think..
