Edit Me Challenge

I'm participating in a photo challenge called Edit Me, hosted by Branson Lee at My Reflection of Something and Stephanie of Behind the Camera and Dreaming. Here's how Branson explains the process:

This challenge is all about taking a photo and making it your own with the editing program of your choice! It is also about learning a little bit from each other, and exploring new styles! There are no restrictions (unless specifically stated within the post for the week), but we do ask that you share a little bit about how you arrived at your finished product.

This week's adorable image was provided by Stephanie of Behind the Camera And Dreaming.


Original
  

Edit

To achieve my edit, I did the following:

Open photo in Picnik
Crop, adjusted levels and exposure 
Cross process and yellow fade effects
Brightened eyes
Slight soften on entire photo



Edit Me

This is really a fun exercise. 
Please hop on over to the challenge, 
view the other edits and maybe give it a go yourself?
