remember when?

Remember back when you would walk in to church with your parents and while they were handed a bulletin you would receive a kids bulletin? You would sit in big church and diligently work on all the activities the kids bulletin offered before the preacher really got into his talk, in which time you slept on mom's shoulder. Those were good times, no? Well one activity always found its way to these sheets: the ol' Find the Difference pictures.

You know, two pictures that at first glance are identical but upon further inspection (which is exactly what the activity calls for) you realize there are five or ten, or some other number, differences between the two pictures. One has extra stuff, or the other is missing stuff. Whichever way you look at it, they aren't the same.

I've taken you on this trip down memory lane to display to you one of my newest forms of art: digital photo editing. I downloaded this very smart freeware for photo editing called GIMP. It's basically a free (and probably less user-friendly) version of Photo Shop.

I really don't know how to do much with this program, I've still got tons of learning to do, but one thing I have learned, how to take stuff out of pictures. So, pictured above is a shot taken last spring break at Hueco Tanks, and pictured below is the edited version. Something(s) is(are) missing, can you tell me what it(they) are?
