I ♥ Faces - Fix it Friday #40

Here is a handsome little birthday boy. I felt I needed to remove the clutter, the people in the background, and the lighter on the table. I feel this brought the boy in to the main focus a bit more. Click the "I ♥ Faces" link at the end of this post to see other photographers wonderful editing examples.

One Image, 4 Effects

Here is the sweetest little face around... well he'll only be in town for a few days, but then he'll be the sweetest little face in CA. I love LOVE love this photograph, his little expression is soooo sweet and natural. But I felt it needed a little tweaking. Here are a few edits I tried. I really don't know which one is my favorite. I hope you like them!

Piper's Snoring

There is something about the sound of my dog snoring that brings a kind of calming feeling over the day... when she's snoring my world is calm...

Christmas House at Night

It snowed a lot at home, about 12 inches I think... I know Piper (my dog) had a blast until her pampered little tooties got too cold, then she wanted in. But at night, when the yard and the bushes are covered with snow and the Christmas lights are on... it's one of the most beautiful things.... I love Christmas lights.
