This week our theme or prompt is “couples or self-portrait” (this is just a suggestion, you can show us any SOOC shot) – how appropriate for today! You have until Wednesday each week to link your SOOC shot up on Jill’s blog. On Thursday, you can link up your edits with ME after following some of my tips on how to edit your shots (or just post your edit on Thursday and you can pick up my tips for next week).
