Challenge: Before and After II (Basic Editing)
Camera: Fujifilm FinePix S1000fd
Location: My bedroom
Date: Dec 9, 2008
Aperture: F/2.8
ISO: 64
Shutter: 1/1 secs
Date Uploaded: Dec 9, 2008

 This is all I had, really. Not a very exciting shot but it conveys the theme at least. I liked partial colour better than full or b&w. The 'babies' are pillows from a toy Barbie bed.
I know the background sucks but it's all I had handy and this was a 1am last minute shot, so I couldn't go rooting for the iron to de-crease it and risk disturbing anyone and getting yelled at!


Edit: Crop, resize, hue/saturation, brightness/contrast using levels, little bit of noise removal, sharpened and added a border.

Woodies, although majorly unappreciated, are always great stand-ins for last minute entries. :)

I think if you brought these away from the backdrop more, you could aviod the shadows and maybe blur those wrinkles.
