Light Blulb Has Gone Off!!!

I have been messing around with the free photo editing program, GIMP. As I was reading and watching tutorials nothing was clicking for me. Getting colors to "pop" was going no where. Well folks I figured out some basic, fundamental editing skills out. Below are my before and afters.

                                                               

                Before (It may seem that this picture is fine the way it is)

After (Notice how the white is brighter and the yellow in the middle has popped)
