Reflection:

My favorite filter was definitely the Lens Flare, it is such a simple addition, but it makes the photo a much cuter touch. I actually prefer it to the original. I had a pretty good time playing around with the filters and messing with the adjustments to see what could be done with the picture I had. I had definitely confused myself at some points and had to restart, but it all ended up working out. The Trace Contour was a little troubling with finding the right balance of color while still being able to see our faces and the background, but I think I found a decent combination.
