iHeartFaces: Fix-it-Friday

I haven't done anything creative with photos lately... I've been so busy with wedding plans and packing for my move there just hasn't been much time. However, I'm feeling a bit down this morning, and thought this might brighten my mood. [click images below to view in full size]

Original Photo:

My Edited:

I have a very old photo editing program, I wish I could afford a new one, but with my financial situation and not needing it for a job... I don't see it happening. Anyway- the editor (however "ancient" it may be) that I use is Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0. Here are the steps from original to my version:

1. Copied the photo as a new layer
2. Made the new layer black & white
3. With the filters element I added a diffuse glow to the b&w layer
4. Then I changed the opacity of the b&w layer to 45%

Let me know what you think, thank you!
