I HEART FACES: FIX-IT-FRIDAY

Through my girlfriend, Brenda (check out her website here),

I found a website called I Heart Faces.

It has definitely become my "GO TO" website for all things photography. I've learned quite a bit to help me hone my budding photography skills.

Every Friday, they have a photo challenge, where they have a photo made available for downloading,

so you can practice your editing skills.

This is the first Friday that I have participated.

Here is the original photo.

And here is my "Fix-It".

Using Picnik, I did the following edits:

1. Rotated the photo

2. Cropped the photo

3. Worked with the Color and reduced the Saturation slightly

4. Made photo Black & White and then

slightly faded the color back in

5. Applied the Orton-ish tool and then

slightly faded back to original
