Fix It Friday

So, I've decided that I want to participate more over at I Heart Faces. And on Fridays, they have a feature called "Fix It Friday", where they give you a photo, and you "fix it"--by applying whatever edits you want. I've never participated before, but I thought I'd give it a shot.

Here's the original:


And here's my edit:
FIF-1edit

I did a crop to put her in the rule of thirds (and get rid of one of the signs). Then, I did a quick and kind of sloppy healing brush to get rid of the sign just behind her. Next, I used Amy McMaster's Black and White Action, along with both the Bittersweet and Vanilla Overlays.

What do you think? Does it improve upon the original?

    Nice edit - I don't think I even considered taking out one of the yellow/black signs but I think it takes away another distraction.

    Those actions are great! Are there any other actions you use (besides PW of course) that you enjoy. And are free?!? :-)
