Moment of cuteness

September 30th, 2008 · by map · View Comments

I’m still undecided about whether I want to spend a lot of time fussing with my shots after they’re out of the camera, but I have to say, a couple small tweaks can make a noticeable difference in the final product.

    Yes, that's a good idea, Nathan. I'll do that.
  • So....that begs the question. What changes did you make from the original, and why not show both so we can make the judgment call? :)

    (Cute nonetheless. I love the contrast of shadow on her face. Makes her look very much thoughtful and/or stressed. She's probably down on the economy, too.)
