Picnik Addict

      Okay, okay. I'll be the first one to admit it. I have only recently become mildly addicted to the photo-editing website, http://www.picnik.com. This new-found obsession sprung from my desperate search for a new photograph to use as my Facebook profile picture. Since I'd had the same one since January, I decided it was time for a change. Before long, I had gone outside in my backyard and had taken a photo that I wanted to use. But upon uploading the picture to my account, I found that the colors and exposure of the photograph were a little too bright for my liking. So, what did I do to it? Picnik!
      After I was done editing my profile picture, I wildly scanned the web for other photographs that I could crop, enhance, invert, and frame. Seriously, I was able to entertain myself with this for hours.
      If you've never been to their website, drop by and fulfill your urge to be creative. They have a number of sample photographs that you can retouch, or you can upload some of your own. :) Oh, and I'd be amiss if I didn't share a couple of editing jobs that I've worked on. So, here's one picture that I retouched while on Picnik. :) Enjoy, and be inspired.

Before Picnik editing, Tim Tebow serves as a delightful model.

After Picnik, the Bronco Quarterback snapshot looks GQ worthy.
After Picnik editing, this photo is ready for his momma's refrigerator door.
