Second week of the Edit Me challenge from My Reflection of Something and we are tasked with changing another already great photo. This one was a little harder for me since I had so many ideas. I wanted to do another older picture look but since I did that last week I wanted to change it up a bit. it was hard to make a final decision but this is what I came up with.
Here's the before picture:
And here is my edit after deciding from the 10 or so I worked on.
Like I said, this week was harder since my original instinct was to go black and white or sepia, but I wanted to bring out the richness of color in the picture.
So, here are the steps I used with Picnik:
1. Auto-fix
2. Applied Lomo-ish
3. Black Vignette
3. Cross-Process
I tried another few effects and wanted to put a quote on the picture but it seemed like a little too much when I was done; I'll share just because. Hopefully as the weeks go on I'll get the time to try edits with Photoshop, till then, hope you enjoy!
Check out all the other great edits!!!
I almost went right for the lomo effect too. I think this week's competition is going to be tough. Great edit!
