It's That Time Again
To update our family pic for our adoption profile that is.
I bugged you guys with this last year and ended up with a pretty good family photo. Here are the two so far from this year. I need someone else's eyes to give them a look over.
Which is better? Or do they both suck? What would make them better? This first one is OK but I'm wearing white and apparently that is a no no. Does white ruin the picture? Which one has better lighting. This is our last shot at adoption so this is important. I would love to hear thoughts from you guys as I know I will get good input.
Thanks in advance.

The color is way off in the first picture.

I fixed the color in the first picture, sharpened and did a few other little tweaks:

OMG Julie! That is amazing what you did to my pictures. I'm am seriously blown away that you were able to save the color in that top one. And you can actually see the color of our eyes in both pics. I'm SO impressed. You are very talented! I can't stop going back to look at these now. Thank you.

Debra, if you want to e-mail me a larger version, I can do the edits and send it back to you for your profile.

Typically, sending it to my g-mail is best: julieinkc@gmail.com

PM or post here if you send it, I don't really check that account.

Definitely the first one, with Julie's color fix. Funny because before I scrolled down to Julie's post, I was going to say the first one but fix the color. LOL.

But the first one is the one. You all look so kind and loving in that photo.
