So I’m not actually sure if this is an accurate interpretation, but I’m going with it! I’m far from ready to leap into RAW shooting, but I did play with a few settings on my camera this weekend. I found myself pleasantly surprised by this shot when we arrived home from a first birthday party. For some reason, it really moves me. I love the way their hands are in a similar positions and the way her embrace screams safety, security, protection, comfort, and love.
Here’s the shot SOOC:
Here’s the shot with a little processing:

Beautiful capture…its a wonderful embrace. Glad you got a chance to mess around with your camera…it’s the best way to learn. 🙂
I just can’t stop staring at this image…it’s absolutely beautiful and so endearing. What a capture! I think it’d be beautiful in b&w too.
As for what additional steps RAW requires…you have to adjust exposure/white balance/contrast first before exporting to jpg and processing as usual. It’s really pretty simple and results in a higher quality image. Don’t be scared of it…it’s not hard, really! 🙂
What a sweet moment. Great capture!
Perfect SOOC image! Even without the processing it is great! And, I agree with Christina, RAW really is an extra step, but definitely an easy one and it is sooo nice to have that flexibility in processing!
That is so sweet — I love the processing that you did; the richer color really looks nice!
