ok, i love this week's picture to play with. it reminds me of when i was kid. the socks. the colorful cordory jeans (maybe their farmer's overalls?) the patterned socks! and the cute girly shoes. THE SOCKS! her feet dangling.
as always, i post-editted in picnik. i cropped it to show more of the shoes and SOCKS. i think i scaled back the exposure (i don't even know if i am using the right terminology) and sharpened the image so that the texture of the socks and cordoroys was more pronounced. last, i added the golden hue and cross processing effects to give it a vintage, oldies vibe.
what i learned:
- socks are great (actually i already knew that)
- picnik is limited in their selections of edits and unless i upgrade to use their more advanced stuff or i finally upload PS, i need to stop complaining.
- playing with other people's picture is fun
- cropping can be my friend.
why don't you go over and play too?

Heyyy girl Great photo work! Yeah you prolly need to upgrade. I use PaintShop Pro..have for years. I tried to get the PS free trial but it wouldnt install LOL. So I can't deal with it for now..
I love how you did your process tho. Sweeet! I just posted some 20plus years old photos on my blog lol. Take a look.
Thanks for visiting my blog =)
Love the sepia tint! You've definitely hit on giving the picture a little age making it more nostalgic. Nice edit.
Yep, it's so much fun to play!
I like your version better than the original :)
Awesome editing, love the sepia and it takes me back. Very nice job.
Awesome crop and great work bringing out the textures in the pants and socks. I hadn't even noticed the texture in the socks until I saw your edit. Love the quote too!
This looks great. I love this edit!
Your version of that photo is absolutly awesome. And thanks for introducing me to dolcepics--what a cool site idea.
