More editing

So, I have been trying to kick up my photography skills lately and was browsing some blogs when I came across Erin's photography Blog, she is Pompeii's raiser. I knew she was in a photography class and I don't know why I didn't realize she would have a blog about her photography, she has a blog for just about everything else ;) (How many do you have Erin? 4?) haha. Anyways, through my snooping I found another blog called Pixel Perfect and she has little photography competitions so I wanted to enter this one. It's a before and after competition where you edit a photo and give the SOOC (straight out of camera) and then the edited one. So, here is my shot! It's back from spring break at my parents house.


SOOC
Close up picture of Darrell and Egypt, it shows Darrell's shoulder and some of his back and he's holding Egypt's face with his face pressed against her head, she has her mouth open and tongue kind of out she looks like she is smiling. Her eyes are also closed.


Edited Version - using Lightroom 2
Edited photo is cropped so its a close up of both Darrell's and Egypt's heads, they are now on the far right of the picture instead of the center and the color is changed to sepia tone which is the brown colored pictures, there is a burn effect around the picture also. That makes it look like the faded black circle around it.

This is what I do when I should be studying....

I make pretty pictures of Bob look prettier.... yay me! lol. 

Ok, Before: 
picture of Bob from the bluebonnet photos, he is sitting in a patch of bluebonnets and looking at the camera with his mouth slightly open, from this you can tell it was kind of cloudy and none of the colors are really sharp.

and After: 
The same picture of Bob from above except the flowers and colors all look brighter, there is also a very low fade to black that makes a very subtle circle around Bob, I also took off the tag that was sticking out of Bob's jacket, covered it up with fur lol.
 lol. My first time working with photo editing software (besides cropping and my blog titles) What do you think?! Is it too much or just right?
