I have openly professed my love for Photoshop Elements. I am not backing away from my love, just wondering if I'm taking advantage of it. I must be going through the, "if a little is good, a lot must be great!" stage. A little lightening of the shadows where needed? Great. Sliding the little slider (so, I'm having a brain fart) way too far to the right probably isn't a great photographic idea.
Anyway, I finally got out of the house on Saturday after being sick all week, and met a friend and Grandma Deb at the park. It was nice to get out and breathe in fresh air.
Here are some before and after (using my love) pics I took. Please, oh please, let me know if you think my post-processing photos are just too much. Sometimes I think they look great, other times I wonder if they look too fake.

Thanks for looking!

I could say a lot of things but I will try to keep it short. It is kind of hard to judge photos from webshots, because I don't know if what I see on my monitor is what you see on yours. The first photo I think is a little too contrasty in the second shot or at least over saturated. As far as the second and third sets I like what you have done. I am not a big fan of tinted-looking photos so I am going to withhold judgment on the fourth set. And for the fifth set, I actually like the before better, probably only because it looks like there is more tonality.
