Whoa. I spend so much time trying to get everything straight that I would never think to intentionally tilt a subject like that. But it works! Makes the photo feel much more dynamic, especially with the close crop.

...pretty busy this week, but how can I pass up a 'What would you do'??? That said, I didn't spend more than 5 minutes on this, and here's what I came up with:



GOAL:
Make the photo more vivid in color and contrast.

What I did (in Paint Shop Pro 8):
-Cropped more tightly around her body
-Cloned out all the lines in the background
-Histogram midtones adjustment (-10)
-Saturation increase (24)
-Added picture frame and selected colors from her swimming suit for the four different sections

p.s. ELAY I think yours is awesome!!

First I erased the background from the little girl and saturated her eye color. then found a paitning on google images. I then copied and pasted as a new iamge onto the painting until i decided a spot where i liked her. I cropped the image down and cloned a leaf over the top of her. Now mind you it could have beena better job but I'm at work playing with this!

I like what firemaine did, especially removing(or reducing) the shinny spots on her face. Cute gal.

Tried another with a bit more artsy cartoonish look.
