before and after - swing

I am participating again in Pixel Perfect's bloghop - before and after.

before - original
Whoa - crazy picture. I have no idea what my settings were, but clearly they
were not correct :-)

The only thing I like about this photo is Logan's expression.
What you can't see is that
she was looking up at her Daddy about to give her a push -
Her little expression in this picture -
makes me smile

after
I decided to embrace the fact that I obviously chopped off
her hand in the original, and crop it even closer. Also embraced the
funky haze and converted to a nice warm color.

Edited in Lightroom


You can still vote - she's falling behind - haha, she's only competing with about 90,000 others!

    She is such a cutie! I love her crisp, soft, cleanness against the dirt old swing. :)

    Beautiful picture. I love looking at pictures when you catch expressions of them looking at Daddy, Grandma, pets, etc. So precious.
