This photo was taken while we were in Disney, I mean, obviously, I think the castle gives that away...
Anyway, a Disney photographer took this for us with our camera.
Update: David wanted a picture of just he and I without Brad. Brad is in the stroller right in front of us. :) In case you were wondering....
It was a little dark due to the settings because it had been acting up. The shutter was sticking so I had it at a higher speed to make sure it wasn't blurry.

I lightened it up all around with exposure, brightness and fill light which I normally don't use, but our faces needed it!
I added some warmth and boosted the colors.
Then, I used a graduated filter just to get the sky and castle popped out more.
And, I added rounded corners and cropped a bit.
Any thoughts or suggestions? I really don't do funky edits so if someone thinks something really wild would look good then let me know! :-)Taken with my Canon Rebel T1i, Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 lens and edited in Lightroom 3.
