The picture that started it all

I had not been using photoshop long, a few months maybe. I was trying to work on learning levels and curves so I needed some pictures to practice on. The lighting needed to be good on the face so I stuck my kids in an open window, went outside and started snapping away. I took about 20 or 30 pictures, but when I saw this one it was like I knew.
