Edit Me Challenge - Sprinkler Girl

Branson, one of the hosts of the Edit Me Challenge, supplied this week's photo.  This fun summer picture is of her adorable niece.  :)

My busy schedule has kept me from the challenge for awhile so it is fun to be back this week!

First thing I did was crop the photo to better frame the little girl.

Next I started adjusting the colors.  I ended up going for a retro technicolor look.  I like the way it makes this picture look like it could be from almost any era.  :) 

After I arrived at this color edit I cropped the photo again because the shadow areas in the picture ended up too dark.

After that I sharpened it just a smidge and was done.


Here is the before:

And here is the after:

Tree and Sea

Cool Blue

Sunny Leaves

Reminiscing

Such an idealic lazy afternoon, fresh after the rain. 

Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous; not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.

1 Peter 3:8-9
