The lighting

Here is my first attempt at editing  the lighting using the brightness and contrast levels and color levels. the original photo was darkened because of backlighting from the sun. Changing the contrast and brightness helped make both subjects more visible.

 

this is the original.

This is a photo of our daughters first trip to the range! I used color saturation and increased brightness. I also cropped this photo because I thought it would get rid of some of the background noise.
