What if the washed out image is what happens when you sit too close to the tv?
It also looks like looking at an image taken in a dark room near a light source, similar to a lot of photographs taken around the time this sentiment existed.
Not saying you are wrong, i like your touched up version; but, what if? Dreamy eyes😯
I don’t know if it’s just me, but I don’t like the way this image looks, so I quickly tuned it a bit.
