Haystack Rock Close-up

Here is a photo I took of William with Haystack in the background. His face was just too dark because the sun was bright and made dark shadows on his face.

But, thanks to my new photoshop class, I have fixed the problem and it turned out to be a pretty nice picture.

I can't wait to work on some of my other class pictures.
