Tuesday Tweaks

In which I share a picture that I edited or, "tweaked."

This is one of my favorite little models, my cousin Carter. Isn't he the cutest?

I did this one on picnik.com I think. I'm a big fan of free. ;) I used the sharpen tool to get rid of some of the blurriness and I used the boost effect to brighten the colors up. Most pictures, especially ones of kids, look great with just a touch from this effect. It increases the saturation of the colors and works well with pictures of kids because it makes things just a bit brighter. (Some progams actually have a saturation tool. It's almost exactly the same thing, I promise.)

Composition 101: When taking pictures of kids, just keep snapping!
