Life in Your Years

"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."

- Abraham Lincoln

Tomorrow Miss 5 will be Miss 6. Mrs tsuken baked a batch of dinosaur cupcakes for her to take to school to share with her class tomorrow. I'm not really happy with this as a photo. The original was too dark, so I added a layer, with auto exposure, set to overlay, with opacity around 3/4, I think. Then I added another layer set to screen, with opacity about half. Then I sharpened it, and cooled the white balance.

And I'm not sure I like the result. However, I've done it, and it's getting too late to spend more time processing a photo of cupcakes - as excellent as they are. So as I have processed it, that's what I'll blip, but do look at the unprocessed version and see which you think is better.
