Picnik!

It's almost as much fun as the name sounds like.



(here is my SOOC shot - not too bad by itself)
Then I played around and picnik - ized it!
Beginning with the "edit" tabI cropped in close to emphasize that cute expression"exposure" I increased the exposure, contrast and brightness all just a little nudge"color" I increased the temperature and saturation just a hair also
Then jump over to the "create" tabthis is where the FUN really begins . . .
Then just very subtly Isoftenedadded a slight vignettecross-processedand added a tiny bit of burlap under texture

Adorable!
