Edit Me Challenge 14

Edit Me

Hi everyone!  Just sharing a quick post today.  I recently discovered the Edit Me Challenge link up which essentially is to take an existing image and edit it how you like.  So here is my first go entering this challenge!

Original Image

My Edited Version

I used Adobe Photoshop CS3 to edit this photo.  Here is a synopsis of the steps I took...
  • Duplicated the layer
  • Used Free transform, warp to straighten horizon line
  • Selected sky and adjusted contrast to enhance clouds
  • Enhanced contrast for entire image
  • Adjusted colour
  • Smoothed edges of tree
  • Added noise / grain
  • Cropped image
I'm looking forward to participating in this weekly challenge in the future!  It's really fun to see how differently everyone edits the photo!

Cheers
