I didn't get a chance to post yesterday. Our son, Christian, graduated from the University of Hartford yesterday with a degree in Business. We spent the morning at the graduation and the rest of the day hosting a party to celebrate his achievement. I couldn't resist posting the standard Mom-Dad-and-Grad snapshot. As one might imagine, I took lots of photos, but the best one was this very spontaneous pose by our friends' two little girls. They were taking a break from roasting marshmallows at the firepit on the side of our house and from romping with my grandson. It really highlights their two very distinct personalities. I thought the lighting on the original was a bit harsh, so I softened it. To do this, I applied the Pencil Sketch effect, then used the Color blend mode, and finally made some adjustments with Color Curves.
