34. Friend..

This picture means alot to me.. Josh is not only my boyfriend but he's also my best friend :)

I used Picnik, added a HDR-ish effect then added an Adjustable Threshold effect.

28. Texture..

I chose this picture because of how detailed the tree is. Every little piece of bark is important to the tree and its life, and it shows the texture very well.

I used Picnik, sharpened the picture and decreased the saturation, then added an Infrared Film effect.

21. Time..

Sunsets represent the end of the day and in a way it also represents time. Time can stop as quick as a blink of an eye, or can continue on everyday.. just as the sun sets and rises.

I used Picnik, increased the saturation.. decreased the temperature, then boosted the colors.

39. Memory..

I chose this picture because to me it represent the past/ memories. When I look at the sunset shining through the tree, I see both happiness and sadness but that is what memories are.

I used Picnik, added a Cross Process effect and boosted the colors.

14. Spring..

I chose this picture because the flower in the picture represents the signs we see when spring begins. it is a new start to the season.. which bring beautiful things, such as this flower.

I used Picnik, boosted the colors then added a HDR-ish effect.

4. Tired..

I chose this picture because my brother told me he would be able to stay up all night with us, because we were going to be leaving for Illinois at 4 in the morning but he got too tired and fell asleep.

I used Picnk, added an Orton-ish effect then added a Vignette boarder.

31. Smiles..

This is one of my favorite pictures that I took while the kids were swimming at the hotel. Malinda was playing in the baby pool, bending over and putting her head into the fountain and running back to me trying to get me wet.  I took this picture while she was in the process and she just smiled when she knew i caught her doing it :)

I used Picnik, added a Cross Process effect and added a Matte boarder.
