These kids came with me to scout out some new locations. They were real troopers. I am sure taking pictures is not their activity of choice!

I tested out quite a variety of editing techniques. Still experimenting in Photoshop. What is your preference?

less obvious

I re-tried the burn tool to vignette. better?

Ewww.

Too faded, right? It looks so much different in PS.

something different

I tried my first "texture" in Photoshop. Interesting. I am loving this experimentation. Not sure I love the end color of the photo. I think my own personal style (if I knew how to achieve it) would be light, bright, punchy colors, so this is a fun diversion. 

What do you think? I would love some HONEST critique!  Maybe more of a brown hue?  Less fade?
