Summer Show Off Week 2

 Time for another Summer Show Off with Edit Me Challenge.  Just this past weekend we all went upnorth in Michigan to visit my Hub's parents at their cottage.  The kids were crazy about the lake, and I was crazy taking pictures;)

my edit

What I did on Photobucket:
Adjustment:  Auto Fix and Touch Up with lighting up the shade under the left eye and trying to bring some shine to her eyes.  For the eyes it didn't really pop.  Gotta figure that out on GIMP.

Overlay:  Bokeh-Citrus which I lightened up to 65.

Effect:  Vintage-Doris

Border:  Squared-Print

Thanks for looking!!
 

Summer Show Off by Edit Me Challenge

Over at Edit Me Challenge,  they are doing something different.  Instead of editing a picture supplied by them we are showing off a pic we took and edited.  Then at the end of submission day we will be voting on the favs.  The pic I chose was Michaela a few hours after her First Holy Communion.  She was so tuckered out.  She fell asleep waiting for the guest to arrive for dinner.

Edit

I used Photobucket for this edit. But I did my edit 2 months ago so I don't remember exactly what I did.
I know that I cropped it and used a color filter but I don't remember which filter.  I also put some bokeh in it and lighten the bokeh up.  I also used a grungy frame but don't remember the name of it.

Thanks for looking!

Love Lighthouse Images!

Hopefully you all had a great and safe 4th Of July.  I am tired right now.  Tuesday we had 5 storms come into our area.  So stressed we would lose power.  In the morning the weather dudes say we are in store for more storms.  We need rain but not with the scary stuff.

The new challenge over at Stamp-n-Doodle is Stars and Stripes.  I am using the Calm Seas image.
