I love this photo of me and my little dog Pippi. One of the kids took it so it was blurry and dark but the fact that it has her snuggled up with me on the blanket on a cold evening while I read my book makes me melt. I have wanted to do something with this photo for a while so I think you for the challenge and getting me motivated. First, I desaturated the photo, I lightened it, then cropped out the extraneous parts of it (excessive blanket and chair) and applied an Accented Edge brush stroke to make the blurriness of the original photo look more artistic.
