Focusing on Life - Edit Me Challenge

The Focusing on Life blog had an Edit Me Challenge that looked like fun so I thought I would give it a try.  Below is the Original photo and my Edited Version will follow after it.


Please click to enlarge photos:

I first enlarged the original photo and then cropped it.  Next I did a slight color adjustment to give it a more sunny feel.  Then I added a texture from Nancy at A Rural Journal called, NC0607 if you sign up for her Free Texture Newsletter you will receive these in an email.  and one from RHWest Photography called Shake.  Then I used the Orton Effect at about 50%. and added the Dropped Frame.  All textures and effects were done on Pic Monkey.
