My Sister's Kisses


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   My Sister's Kisses
My Sister's Kisses
-02.02.09 :This one is definitely close to my heart because it is my daughter kissing my son. Usually he's always picking on her, but she still loves him unconditionally. Burned the edges, added a crackle texture, lowered saturation and added a yellow filter.

OMGOSH, Melissa! This is as precious as they come. Beautiful tones, lighting, slight effects...and, of course, adorable little faces! Deb

  Melissa, I'm going to have a very hard time competing with this wonderful portrait of two darling children with my one little grandson! :-) I really like the crackle added to the image, it makes the children standout nicely! Good luck!

  You have my vote in Elida's contest Melissa. I think this capture is a great artistic presentation like Donna said and follows the theme very well. Your children are beautiful so they also makes for an outstanding subject matter. Good luck in winning the first Elida's Contest!

  Outstanding photo and feel that this photo is perfect for the theme and will do well in the "Close to My Heart" contest.

I wish you luck in both contests....
