Holiday Card Challenge

I originally wasn't going to enter this challenge, because I didn't have a photo. But then, little elves made their way to my home and transformed my puppy into a glorified reindog—what are the odds?!

This is one of the very first pictures pictures I took on my brand new Nikon d3100. To say I'm excited about this camera is a huge understatement; I can't wait to start shooting more. Since this is a brand new toy, I played it safe and took the photo on auto (flash off) and then added a soft light layer, screen layer, sold color in navy blue with an exclusion filter, and then I lowered the opacity (I'm really hooked on this soft retro look). After the editing was finished, I added some fun little extras...er...I mean, some elves worked their magic!
