I have been blog-stalking the Before and After Blog Hop over at Pixel Perfect for a while. I am always amazed at the editing skills of the contributors....and there are SO many of them!! I love {love} to see how other creative minds work!
I am very excited to join the blog hop today!! I have been working on a picture that I took in the mountains and I am very proud of how it turned out.

Here is the before:



And here is the after:



After I cropped the yucky barbed wire off the bottom and slightly adjusted the exposure in Adobe Camera Raw, I added one of Kim Klaussen's textures (mytwocents) in PSE8. Then, I added the text, flattened and....tah dah!!!

PS- I will be back to catch up on my 25 Days of Thanksgiving Challenge!  It's hard to find time to blog between working full time and going to bed at 8:30!!  I forgot how exhausting pregnancy can be!!!
