The other night I downloaded the GIMP program and decided to try it out. Well, it was very intimidating! I'm just not used to having so many options.
Below is my first attempt at using the program to PP. Its not a great shot to begin with, I wasn't really trying, so I'm not asking for critique on that. But I would like some opinions on the final edit, and perhaps what you might have done differently or what you would do to it now.
To be honest, I'm not really happy with the result...my original plan was to desaturate everything except the eyes, but I couldn't figure out how to do that. Also, I think I may have cropped it too much, and should've lightened the yellow background?
Below is the original picture and the final edit. Please comment on the second picture. Thanks.
