I have to admit I had to watch some editing tutorials to get it right. As I said, I'm not as satisfied, mostly because the photo became grainy when I edited it. I still hope you liked it because I racked my brain in doing that. I really want to make something very original though! And happy book birthday!!! This is the third time I'm so excited for a release of a book!
