A Squirrel Photo Before and After a Picnik Edit

While I was photographing our rustic outdoor bench, a squirrel stayed close by on a tree. Its eye was not visible in the photograph, and readers wondered whether something was wrong.

After talking with my husband, I made a playful edit in Picnik. The comparison below shows the original on the left and the edited version on the right, labeled after picnik.com.

I wondered whether the original photograph had simply caught a blink or some blur. The edited eye was a photo effect, not evidence of the squirrel’s condition.
