Creative Photo Editing Challenge #2

[Camilla and Darwin]

These will probably be less frequent from here on out, but I've loved seeing all of the responses and I wanted to add this one too before the holidays! Feel free to continue with the other challenge as well! I think in the future if anyone has a photo they think would work well they should post it as an editing challenge too, it's harder than you think to find good neutral photos. :-)

Here is the second image to edit

In my edit (which I did a while ago) I wanted to change the asphalt to look like dirt, and made the leaf stand out more by adding saturation and clarity. I also made the water blue. (All of this was done using the layer mask technique that I've detailed in my how-to)

[F, Calla & Luca]

Thanks Camilla.

[Donna K & Quincy]

Editing to the extreme. :>)

[Camilla and Darwin]

I love how many different techniques you were able to use in one photo. And I love that you made the leaf green!

[Donna K & Quincy]

Thanks Teach! :>) I thought I'd get a jump start before everyone used up all the ideas.

[DJ & Chance]

I don't have a clue how you did all of this! The lone green leaf amid the gloom of winter colors is a nice touch!

[Donna K & Quincy]

That's ok DJ, I don't have a clue either. I just play around and couldn't duplicate it if I tried. 

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

This is really different and creative!

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

Donna, I really like this!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Donna, I love this one!!

[F, Calla & Luca]

Invention indeed!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

[Camilla and Darwin]

Oooh that is cool! The water looks kind of opalescent now!
