I added a soft light layer to it. Then ran Pioneer Woman’s action Lovely. I really love the bright, cheery feel to it. It has been really cold here in NC and we have been getting snow. I went back to my archives for this because I am dreaming of Spring. To me this is simply beautiful and makes me very happy.

    WOW wow wow!! What a great picture!!

    To answer your question on my blog- I only have the kit lens it came with right now. I was debating on getting the zoom 55-200mm lens or a prime lens (35mm) that has great reviews on Amazon, supposed to be good for low light. I'm new to this so any advice would be great!! Speedlight will probably come later on!
