my first real go at re-touching

okay, my closest friends know that i subtly enhance my photos. nothing that anyone would say makes them look unlike me, but, you know, erasing a blemish and whitening teeth just lets your inner beauty shine through. (just keep telling yourself that) last year for my birthday, my hubby got me a lovely photo program. so here's my first real go (of one of my favorite subjects, of course). now i only wanted to correct the picture where folds had marred it; because, frankly, it needs no other improvement.
