Paint.net is free, is quite simple to learn but powerful and it has all the basic features needed for photo editing (and more features can be added with plug-ins) http://www.getpaint.net/ On the other side of the spectrum there's Gimp http://www.gimp.org/ that's still free, very complete software and therefore quite complex and takes more time to learn. I'd stard with Paint.net, and if it doesn't satisfy you then try Gimp (somewhere there's a plugin for Gimp that makes its layout more similar to Photoshop, so that should make it a bit easier to learn) Depends on what you need, and how much time you want to spend learning to use new software.
