In 2013, I was taking pictures of my wife and 1 year old daughter at the beach. When I took this photo I loved the cropping and expressions on both of their faces, but my WB and exposure were all messed up which caused the whole photo to look blue and flat.

I always felt that this photo could be great if I had better photograpghy skills and had the settings done correctly. I have tried several times to correct it in LR but was always unhappy with the results. After taking this course, I went back and followed the steps as outlined and finally have a photo I can be proud of! I will still go back and make some tweaks, but I am pretty happy with this first round of changes.
