P.roject P.hoto

      Ok everybody, I need some help. I have been wanting to work on this photo for awhile but I do not have my own laptop at the moment and I'm beginning to feel very impatient. Since I cannot currently work with it on photoshop, I have been exploring the world of picnik.com. It is a pretty neat site for when you need to touch-up if you are lost experimenting without photoshop.

      I absolutely LOVE this photo, I took it while playing on the beach with my sister. Personally, I don't think it really needs much editing. Just a crop here and some contrast there. Then again, I do not have a professional eye... merely one that likes things to look pretty.

                   Here are some examples that I came up with while messing around on picnik:

                                                                               Cropped:

                                                                         Lots of contrast:

                                                                                   Sepia:

                                                    Black and white with focal point in color:

                                                      B/W focal point in color with Orton-ish:

So do you have any ideas, suggestions, or comments? Are you familiar with picnik.com or other sites/programs of that sort?

What I'm listening to:

Yikes!

Just to let everyone know, I am not abandoning you! I am just so swamped with exams, work, and packing that I simply cannot post (much less be creative). It probably makes me sadder than it makes you, no matter how much I would love to believe the opposite.

Where did all of this stuff come from???

And that is only a portion of my things :( 

Someone save me!!!!

On the bright side, I will be taking the photos for my mom's wedding soon. 

And I will be taking a trip to see the rest of my family.

So I just have to keep going, only a few more days of this chaos!!!!

Pray that I will not go insane until then.
