Before
Canon EOS 30DF stop F 4
Exposure 1 500 sec
ISO 320
Focal Length 75mm
After
So using Gimp, I first played around with the colour tools - mostly hue and saturation. Then I cropped the photo to eliminate the house in the background and finally I used the clone tool to eliminate some of the dirt piles in the background.
I love this photo and it was really fun to find ways to make me love it even more...
I am definately looking forward to learning how to make more artistic modifications!
OH and a BIG P.S. - How in the world do you upload larger pics, I picked the large size when I placed them on the blog but as you can see this is all I get!! I did try manually stretching them out afterwards but it affects the quality of the image...any suggestions would be fantastic!!Exposure 1 500 sec

Really nice work at editing this picture.
That is gorgeous editing work! I love the saturated color and hor her dress really pops now! Beautiful!!
Very pretty processing! I love how natural you kept this, but you really brought in an artistic effect with the saturated greens & popped colors... lovely!
If you want the larger photos on your blog, you'll have to host them elsewhere rather than use Blogger's upload system. If you upload your pics to Flickr or Photobucket, you can link back from within your post. :)
I LOVE the colors--they really pop! Beautiful picture, beautiful setting.
Great job! The color just POPS!
As for enlarging the photos, I upload to Flickr first and you can get larger sizes!
Hey a quick question. Would you be able to make me skinnier is my photos with this program?
Wow! You took it from blah to beautiful! (okay, it was orignally much better than blah).
Great editing!

Hi Kate
You wanna roll up your sleeves and get a little nerdy with the coding?! :D Yes, I'm going to take up a lot of space here on your comments page ...
... OK, it isn't too bad. there is a relatively easy way to make the pictures bigger - but i would caution from making them too big since (1) the quality of the image may decrease, (2) people can always just 'click' on the image to see it big.
OK. Notes.
1 - Upload your picture (big size is fine).
2 - After you upload your picture, click 'Edit Html' (to the right of the title bar above the blogger tool menu bar and text field.
3 - find your picture in the crazy world of html. You should be able to find the name of the jpg file (ie. weddingpic.jpg or whatever you called it).
4 - After you find the file, look for this line of coding which comes relatively soon after the picture file name:
"cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;"
5 - adjust the numbers (say 600px and 450px), but maintain the same ratio (in this case the ratio is width:height, 4:3px). Yes, this involves math! :)
6 - Click "Compose" when you're done (beside Edit Html) and preview to see if you like it.
PS - I don't have the time to learn GIMP, but I have really enjoyed Picasa - simple Google photo software with a lot of great tools.
Cheerio!

What a beautiful picture! Your edit really made it POP! Great!!
