The story: Addy is very curious about insects and critters. We found this little slug which she found most disgusting. She was not happy with the slug. But when we found this caterpillar she was quite excited. They became fast friends.

The original was so blown out that I just couldn’t do much with it without taking the time and effort to open up photoshop (whew! I’m panting already from the exhaustion of it all! ha). So I played around with softness, a white matte and desaturated it to about 25%, all through Picnik. My goal was to try to convey the tender moment a little better. I posed it to my blog and was really shocked at the positive response it got since I liked it for about 5 seconds before I decided I didn’t. haha.
