My Sister's Kisses [Family Life Photographs Family Pictures]

-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.

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! #7291126Lisa J. Boulden March 16, 2009
