I just adjusted the curves ... and this is another one for Peggy. Seems she likes to experiment a little with her photos, so I adjusted the curves to see what would happen with this one.

I think it's easier to see the mountain details that the sun was blinding ... and yeah ... curves are generally good, whether they're from Photoshop or from nature or from eating too much cheese! ;-)

I decided to upload more than one version of this photo because I liked almost all the ways it could be edited, as well as the original. It can be that way with people. Though we may grow and change like the tree, we are already amazing in our current, or original form, and we also can be great when we make an effort to become better.

I don't plan to spend gobs of time editing this or many of my other photos. Subtle changes are fine, but why mess too much with things when they can be appreciated as they are. I like to show photos pretty much as is. I like people pretty much as they are, too.
