Saving a Picture

I took a picture of Baylee yesterday:

(Imagine an un-edited pic of B with a really serious face riding a scooter here...pretend I didn't forget to save the original pic)

It was kinda blurry around her face and the colors were pretty blah. 

I haven't installed Photo Shop on my recently fixed lap top so I was limited to the fixes on Google's Picasa program.  I started by using the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button which brought out a little more light in the photo.  Then I used the "Sepia" button which gave the picture a brownish tone.  I did like how B was not front and center in the picture, but it felt like too much blank space on the right side. When I clicked on the "Crop" button there were 3 different auto cropped options and I happened to LOVE the first one which really highlighted the serious look on B's face.  I ended up with this:



This is one of my all time favorite pictures of her.

  Turns out not all of my pictures have to be perfect and I don't even need Photo Shop to take a yucky picture and make it smile worthy!
