PicMonkey:

• Added vibrance with the Burst filter.

Added a sun with the supernova filter.

Me Edit

This is what I did...

• First with Picmonkey I added lens flare, bokeh, and used the eye brighten tool on the bird.
• Then I went to ipiccy and added the mirror frame. 
• Then went back to Picmonkey to add the bee sticker for my watermark.  Ipiccy has no bee sticker. 

The reason why I am using bees is because St. Rita of Cascia is the Patron Saint of hopeless causes, which includes, trying to have a baby, and her symbol is the bee.
