Extra Details: First I cloned the left side of the image over to the right and erased some of the hydro poles in the background. Then I used Mcp Inspire actions to bring this photo to life. I used the Auto Exposure action…followed by the Light Blocking and Light Painting action to brighten the left side of the girl..(my daughters) face. and to add some more light around the trees. Then I added Custom Ball of Sunshine to exaggerate the sun coming in from the right. I added the action Custom Sunbeam to add a bit more sun as well. Then I ran the action Lemon Sorbet and adjusted opacity. Added the action Fantasy Land at low opacity. Used the Shallow DOF action to add a tad bit more blur to the background. I ran the Custom Edge Burn action choosing a color from my photo, and to top it all off I used MCP Texture number 1 from MCP Texture Play Overlays pack to add a little something to my blown out sky. I then used a levels adjustment layer and was done.
