Throwing Marshmallows?

 "Learning can only happen when a child is interested. If he's not interested, it's like throwing marshmallows at his head and calling it eating."

    Hi, I saw your blog linked at "raisingsmartgirls" and I had to comment on this picture. As a fellow amateur photographer, I must say this picture is gorgeous. If you took this, my hat's off to you!

    Thanks! I did take the picture, but I will admit that I had a little bit more post processing help than usual for this version. I use Lightroom and it has "presets" that you can use for different effects. This preset pumps up the colors and saturation a little bit, softens the focus and darkens the edges.

    This version has a little bit of clean-up post processing but is closer to "straight out of the camera":

    They each have a different feel and I like both of them. It is fun to play around with them.
