Cropped Creation

When I first snapped this photo I knew it was a disaster. One person leaning backward and too close, the other listing in the opposite direction. Although when I studied the photo I noticed that there still was something there to save.

I cropped the photo down to one person. I removed the shine from her face, added a skin softener and glamour glow and darkened the edges. Keeping her face sharp and bluring the background edges draws the eyes to the center of the photo and her pretty face. Just for fun I added an artistic filter to give the image a painterly quality.

From disaster to delightful! Happy Easter!
