My Sister's Kisses

Uploaded: February 02, 2009

Description

-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.

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!
