Sometimes I'm not sure exactly how a photo needs to be edited. I took this photo on a mountain bike trail at our local park a couple of weeks ago. I love how the sunlight is filtered through the trees, highlighting the mossy area on the ground.
I edited the photo to enhance the sunlit moss by increasing the warm tones and darkening the edges.
My question is whether or not I should crop the photo, as well. Does the orange leaf detract or enhance the image? Is it too dark? Any comments or suggestions?
I often ask myself the same question. . . personally, I like the last picture with the orange leaves - they add to the photo, but they don't take away from what you're highlighting.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, my friend :) Hugs to you!

Though both are great, I really love the second edit. It has more drama...more mystery. Very nice!
