Color Editing

Before; this was the original photo as it came out of the camera. 

After; this was the photo after it was edited. I used the functions auto color and I played with the saturation, lessening it. Afterwards, I enhanced the reds selectively in the skin and tie.

Before; this was the photo as it appeared out of the camera.

After; this is the photo after it was edited. I removed much of the saturation and color first. Afterwards, I enhanced the reds, greens, and blues exclusively in the plugs so as to emphasize them. 

3-Piece Portfolio, February 12

The above piece is a digital painting. I edited out the bottom (useless) bar of color that was there since this was previously posted.

This image was previously posted exactly as is  pictured here.

This image is the edited version of the previous picture. I enhanced the brightness and  adjusted the colors.

This was a photograph that I took last summer.

In this image, I enhanced the colors to increase the recognition of the summer setting.

External Project

The images above and below are designed according to my own specifications, and the guides are merely to point out the movement of the picture. I played with the positions of the towels and the lighting of the composition.

Internal Project

The image above and below represents an external image, its composition designated by the rule of thirds. In this image, I played with the position of the boats to place them carefully according to this rule.

Digital Composites

In this composite, I combined a photograph of an ornament (usually hung in trees) that is shaped like a hot air balloon into the picture of the sunset.

This composite consists of a mountaintop view of a few rocks piled onto the enormous rocks that make up the mountain, where I added the "Horse Crossing" sign behind a close-up clipping of a burnt log.

Here, I took a picture of wind chimes and put them in front of a view from atop a mountain, where arguably they would not ordinarily be.
