Rust Edited

Both of these images were edited in camera raw only. The grass image I adjusted the took out a little of the blue and added in some green. This image also had the vibrance and saturation bumped up to really bring out the bright colors, and I added a sight vignette. The rust image had just a few adjustments in camera raw, just enough to bring out the colors. I gave the image more contrast, vibrance, and saturation.

Temple

Both of these panoramic's were shot with a tripod. I shot a series of photos and then used photomerge in photoshop to put them together. The temple shot I used content aware fill in photoshop to fill in some blank spots. Both images were cropped and adjusted in camera raw and in photoshop to enhance the colors and give a more dramatic feel. I really like how both turned out. I felt like when I took the photos I had an image in my head of what I wanted the final product to look like and I really feel like I accomplished my 'vision.'

This edit I used a smart filter and a motion blur. I wanted Maddox to look like the world was spinning around him as he was playing.

This photo had enhancements with the levels to bring out the colors and make it more vibrant. The father's face was masked out of the levels so he didn't look unnaturally dark.

Flora and Fauna

This Meer Cat was so cute. I had to do a little cropping and give it a little richness through the levels. It's just such a cute animal!!

2. Pink Flower, May 6, 2011 at 12:30 pm, Dallas, Texas, 5.6, 1/500, Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi

The saturation and levels were both boosted to bring out the best color in the image. The photo was also cropped just a bit.

This was one of my favorite flower pictures from the day. I love how the light rests perfectly on the flower and the contrast from the brightness of the flower and the darkness around it. I bumped up the saturation on the yellow flower just a bit and the image was cropped as well.

I love this bird. I was at the Dallas Fort Worth Zoo in the bird cage. Where most birds seemed to shy away from the camera this one came right up to my lens and let me capture a shot. I bumped up the saturation and the levels just a bit in this photo.
