The thumbnail of Andrea and a friend was taken a few years ago (see the missing front teeth?). I have always liked it, but Andrea’s face was blurry. If you click on the picture, you can see what I mean.
Allan is still teaching me how to use GIMPÂ and I am experimenting with improving pictures. I tried to sharpen Andrea’s face and then played with the pictures some. After sharpening the picture, I just adjusted the first photo to sepia. In the color picture, I tried to make the background look less harsh.
I like both of them for different reasons. Mostly, I love how Andrea and her friend look so excited about sledding.
