before and after photos

we picture {this}








I fooled around with this photo of my 15 year old daughter Nicole. The photo was taken a week ago in Cyprus. The first photo is the original shot. Then I played with the light contrast. Then I cropped it. Then I made it black and white. I use an old software program called picture it. Finally I tried it using an antik effect and one more crop. I don’t actually have much technical knowledge…I’m learning.

  1. I think I like the 2nd edit best. Nicely cropped! I think I might have also tried to use a dodge tool to lighten her teeth (much cheaper and faster than professional teeth whitening, huh!). I do this all the time with my photos since everyone in my family drinks tea!

    Your daughter has a beautiful smile!
