This reminds me of one of the thousands of pictures I have of my boys at the park. This picture reminds me so much of the typical care-free boy... playing, smiling, and being just a "boy!"
So I wanted to bring that into my photo.
What did I do
Step 1- I took out the hot spot in his faces
Step 2- I adjusted the coloring in the photo using Nik Software Filter- Graduated Neutral Density
Step 4- I softened his skin using Nik Software Filter Dynamic Skin Softener and I enhanced the foilage in the background
Step 5- I added a "touch" of Glamour Glow to the photo
Step 6- I crossprocessed the photo using Nik Software Filter L07
Step 7- I used a textured background in a new layer and used a Pin Light (opacity 43%) into the photo for an old textured look
Step 8- I cropped the photo
Step 9- I added the typing "All Boy" into the photo
Step 10- I added a white and blue border
How fun was that! I learned new stuff about out to edit shadowing on photos and can't wait to use them on some of my old and future photos!
Here is the original
Here is the one I edited

Nice fix. I didn't even think about photoshopping the sun highlight off of his face.
Really, really great job! And you're right, he's all boy. :)
