I took these and had done some edits pre-tutorial. My standard edits were to adjust the WB (cooler more to the blue end), upped brightness a touch, upped blacks to almost 20, desaturated slightly. Actually I desaturated first per MeRa's tips on whitening holiday lights. After the tutorial, I worked on the eyes. I desaturated the whites to get rid of bloodshot, dodged eye highlights and burned the iris edges. Finally I brushed in definition around the face features.
This is one of my holiday card images -- which I'll try to post soon.
