Choice #1


This picture was taken with the flash off and the camera was on auto.
First I used the color balance tool to enhance the green of the grass.
Next I used the clone stamp tool to try and get some of the debris out of the water.
Last I auto toned, auto contrasted and auto colored it so it would look better.
This is my favorite picture but it never fit into a specific category.

Landscape Ground emphasis

The camera was on auto and the flash was off.
I like it but its to dark for my taste.

First I used color balance and made the grass look greener and more vibrant.
Then I adjusted the brightness because the original was to dark.
Lastly I adjusted the levels to make it look bright and beautiful.
The tree line shows off more of the land then the sky.

Reflection: I really like the edited one because its just an overall improvement.
I really like how much the green of the grass stands out.

Scale

This photo is good but the glare from the sun is a bit distracting. 
The background is very distracting also.
First I changed the vibrancy of the photo so it looks better.
Then I went to color balance and gave it more red so the coke looks better.
Then I gave it auto tone… I like it because it gives it a darker look.

Reflection: Okay first of all that is in my room and its awesome and second my walls are orange...which is also awesome. Anyway I like the croped photo more because it just looks nicer with the red being more shiney.

Lines

 This photo was taken with the flash off and the mode was on auto.
This picture is good but the peson in the back is very distracting.

 First I took out the peson standing in the background with the spot healing brush.
Then I used the color replacement tool to make the brick wall look nicer.

Reflection: I like the bottom one more because it looks more vibrant and the person in the background is gone.
