Trying out some new things this summer

I have decided to add some pictures to this blog this summer.  I may not be consistent but I hope to keep at it.
I took some random shots at Linda's  a few days before Evan left for Ukraine. I have decided to use Sydney as a model this summer.
Here is a picture of Syd pretty much right out of the camera (on the left) and with some tweeking in PSE 9 on the right.

I touched up some blemishes. Then I lightened her eyes and brightened the green of the grass in the background. 

I have also taken some shots of Will and Ally that I am editing. I will post them soon.
