Submitted for your reperusal. (I'm almost certain, that's not even a word.)
I took this a few days ago, but it's been picking away at my nerve endings ever since I exported it out of LR.
I reexamined it tonight, and I think I figured out where I went wrong.
I've been starting to revisit photos I previously took, but never finished as I just wasn't happy with my post processing skills. This is one from many many months ago that I mangled so bad in post that I just gave up. This is my wife and her bestest friend, and I originally had them looking like mutant aliens by time I was done with them. I now have just written it off as I had no idea what I was doing back then. (Not that I know what I'm doing now, but I do know the more I learn, the less I know...) I can't exactly do anything about one of them being slightly out of focus now, but live and learn. I've definitely learned a lot since then.
