Help with A Family Photo

I was wondering is there's any more that could be done to enhance this photo before sending off for prints.

I'm hoping to be able to produce 10x14 prints. Thanks for any assistance you may be able to provide.

Hey John

SmugMug's Auto Color (what we use in our Lab):



Link to Original and if you print from this on on SmugMug, please be sure to use True Color since it's already been adjusted

Your edit is a bit too-red IMO, noticeable on you, your Dad, and a cousin or two. The skin tones on the SmugMug Auto version are much closer to natural skin tones, and have removed some of that dreaded flash-red.

Notice also, the exposure adjustment, about 1/2 stop above the original, mostly in the shadow areas. It works to improve the shot IMO.

PS: great family shot NO BLINKERS and I'm guessing the dog didn't give you any trouble standing still

Thanks, Andy. I'd added the wrong original and now corrected it. Is there anything I should do the file or just choose Smugmug's Auto Color.

Thanks and happy holidays.
