Fix-It Friday #10 - “Hands-on Photo Editing”

Over here at iHeartFaces, there is a Fix-it-Friday every Friday. What you do is, download one of their photos and do your own editing. I edit almost all photographs I take; it's fun to use this editing process to show your imagination. There are limitless ways to edit one photo.

So. I've decided to try it out today.

Here's the original:

Here's the post-edition:

About me

I am a wife to a loving, thoughtful husband, a mother of two little angels. Because of my husband's job, we have relocated from New Jersey to Los Angeles three years ago. I miss everything back East..NYC, Gray's Papaya, the subway..but know that LA is where God wants us to be right now. His grace is sufficient; I can't live through a day without depending on Him. My love affair with photography began when I was sixteen years old, when I saw a photograph taken by my cousin at South Seaport in NYC--it was a light switch turned on somewhere inside me. When I came home, I dove into photography. Since then, I've always had a burning desire to pursue photography. It was unfortunately cut short due to choosing another field of study during my college years..not until I became a stay-at-home mom and a God-given opportunity early this year, I was able to finally reunite with this passion..and the rest is history.

I rely on my instincts to be at the right place at the right time, my eye to see the composition, my soul to envision the meaning and possibility, my mind to read the light, and my experience to do it well every time. These are the intangibles of good photography-instinct, an eye, soul, a technical mind, and years of experience.

Every time someone tells me how sharp my photos are, I assume that it isn't a very interesting photograph. If it were, they would have more to say. ~Author Unknown

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine
