Beyond Beyond Day 49

Day 49 Make it Yours - An Editing Challenge

In this lesson Kim provided us with a gorgeous tulip photo, and showed us how she edited it, then asked us to make our own edit.  So much fun !  I made a few adjustments in LR5, went over to PSE and added the kk_simple texture at a low opacity. Then I spent AGES trying to decide whether to add text, a brush, or nothing.........couldn't decide, and went to bed !  This morning I came back to it and made the final decision......what do you think ? 

I've noticed that photos I bring into my blog are darker ? Is there something I should be doing ? Any help appreciated,  Thank you :)

PS. I found out that Google+ automatically "enhances" photos. So I have changed my settings :
Click on Home > Settings.
Scroll to the "Auto Enhance" section.
Uncheck "Automatically enhance new photos"

I will have to see if this works for my next post......
