What could I do to improve this photo?

[DChadwick]

Try angling her so that her feet are dangling at a 45o angle to the bed.

She is actually laying on a sheet on that I tacked on the wall and let some hang onto the floor. But that is a good idea. Thanks !

I would use cloning to fix up the sheet so it has no creases and fix the sheet toward her hip so you don't see the ground.

Thanks for the advice jblackwell. Still figuring out my editing software !

Totally understand that!!! I have Gimp 2 and have yet to learn how to use it, looks too complicated. So I just stick with what I know. What software are you using?

I have Gimp 2 as well but I still haven't messed with it all that much. I mostly just use the software on photobucket. I had this great program a while back don't remember what it was or what happened to it. I am not sure what program would be best for me. I don't tend to edit my photos that much. Maybe change the color to black & white, or sepia.
