I think the original pic is just fine. Sometimes the picture is what it is. The only thing I would do is clone same color over the bright light found in the upper right hand corner. By taking away too much from the photo you steal away part of the memory. Don't be discouraged there are many photo opportunities in your future where your editing expertise will flourish!!! keep up the good work and keep posting! Blessings to you! Angie
Be careful with Gimp. I downloaded it and it came with a virus. Took the Geeksquad (thank goodness I was still in their program!!) over 4 hours to clean up my computer. I use Picasa and Picnik. I would like to download some of the ones suggested on this site.... however I am a bit nervous to do so at this time. :)
