This weeks picture was taken by the lovely Miss Marylin from The Artsy Girl Connection. This lady has such an eye for all things pretty! If ya haven't already, go check her out!
This shot was taken at Disney World.
What a perfect place to get lost & take a million pictures!

edit by me
I was a bad girl this week. I went ahead & used Picnik, instead of getting more comfortable w/ Photo Shop. I actually quite like how it turned out. I promise by next week, I'm going to just bite the bullet, & use Photo Shop! I'm not going to feel too bad about it though, for what Picnik is... it's pretty fabulous!
I first started off cropping
I then thought it may look good reversed. I did it, & liked it
I decreased the exposure a bit, & upped the contrast by only 2
I used the doodle tool to color in the red boat canopy, then faded it out until I like the result
(I only have the "free" version of Picnik people! Lol... gotsta work w/ what I have!!)
I added a Lomo-ish effect & blurred the edges to add more focus to the boat
The lomo effect made it a little too saturated, so I toned that back down
Added a very slight vignette in a light gray tone
Finally sharpened it up, added a little clarity, & a thin black border.

Love it , love it, love it.
Never would have thought to flip the image and I love how you've got the colour back in the boat canvas.
Very vibrant and clean and such a different perspective!
I LOVE the flip. So cool. Great job on the colors and vibrance!
Wow! I never would have thought the colors could be that vibrant and pretty! Now, that's a real pop in color- looks like a totally different photo!
Really LOVE the flip! :) and Picnik is AWESOME! I use it tons for my photography!!!!!
I heart picnik, too! Love what the flip did to this photo! Totally made it your own! Awesome!
Great job! I love Picnik as well. Awesome what you can do to a photo. Of course you have to have a great eye like you though! :)
I love how you flipped it and the crop you can see all the detail in on the boat! The colors are superb.
I think this edit looks great- I love the colors on the boat. Maybe I'll start doing these challenges- I love to edit.
Very nice!
Love your edit...Great minds think alike! We edited the photo very similar to each other...Love your photos...Can't wait to check'em all out....Lord Bless...
I love your results!!! I never thought to reverse my photos or use the doodle option on them. I need to fiddle with Picnik more since I don't have photoshop!
That turned out pretty. I would never have guessed that you only used Picnik for this.
Wow! I love this too! Love the flip and just totally an awesome edit!
