No editing other than a slight color boost to give it a soft sepia feel.
I did some messing with vignettes, but couldn't tell if it looked cheesy or not.

Nick actually took this one, but I really liked the composition, so I'm posting it.
I tweaked the brightness and contrast a lot more with this one to lighten it without making the candlelight appear too blown out.

Slight saturation and contrast increases, but original coloring

Opinion Poll

A lot of times after I've edited a photo, I can't decide whether I like the original
or the "corrected" photo better.
Usually, as in this case, I think it depends on the feel you're going for.

So here's where I let you weigh in with your opinion (though no one actually reads this yet).

#1

The first one washes the second one out when seen next to one another,
so look at them apart from each other if possible.

The side garden at the "Palace"
Wishing I had have turned the time stamp off that summer.
