Playing around in Elements

It's clear that I am no expert when it comes to Photoshop or any of its great photo enhancing capabilities. Today, I decided to just play and see what I could do and I manipulated this picture of Eli from Easter. I think it's cute, and it's a starting point for me and this program. For those of you photographers and pros at this program (or similar programs) don't judge. We all have to start from somewhere. :) This is my starting point.

Here is our guy sitting at the table after finishing Easter Dinner at my parents house (Papa and Gramma). He was quite attentive to our conversation.
