First Shot

My first try at taking photos in RAW file format, processing in Adobe Lightroom, and exporting with a new watermark.  From beginning to end it was an interesting process.  At times I felt overwhelmed, at times I sat in front of the laptop, book open next to me as my eyes blurred and I fought off a headache.  I downloaded and installed a few Lightroom presets to see examples of how adjusting various settings had a different affect on the final image (and, admittedly, I used a preset to help "hold my hand" the first time through this process).  I wouldn't call this an original, but it's a first step...
