IHF Challenge: Anything But a Face

This week's I Heart Faces Photo Challenge theme is Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes (knees and toes...for those of you singing the song in your head as you're reading).  In other words, a photo that features any (appropriate) body part except the face.  As soon as I read it, I had just the photo in mind....


I took this photo last month while my son was playing in the backyard one late afternoon.  This one was my fave from that day.

Fix-It-Friday

Every Friday I Heart Faces hosts a linky party inviting photogs to edit a particular photo and share their results. 

Here is the OG photo (SOOC: Straight Out Of the Camera)
Original Photo by Andrea Riley


And here it is with my edits

I edited in Picnik.  First I cropped the photo, then I increased the exposure slightly and adjusted the temperature (warmer) a fraction.  Then I applied the following effects: Curves Reala 400 (25% fade), Cross Process (25% fade), 1960's (no rounded corners, 25% fade), and Gritty (75% fade).  I also added Vignette.
