Landscapes: 3 Times of Day

 This is my first landscape image that I took, in the morning around 7 am. I took some of the saturation away to make it look more dull and have a cool filterish look. I also, added a cyan filter to draw attention away from the mulch, so the leaf takes the color.

 My second photo was during night time around 7pm. I used flash because I missed the sunset. I added contrast to have the green stand out. Then, I adjusted the levels so you couldn't see the mulch in the background.
The final photo I chose is the one I took at noon. The lighting was perfect and the mulch in the background is actually visible. First, I blurred the leaves behind the main one and adjusted the brightness so the yellow on the edges of the leaf would stand out.

Toys (indoor)

My outdoor photo was taken with a silver sparkly background and a mirror reflection, which i cropped out. I added a black&white filter and adjusted the contrast to make his shadow more clarified. To edit the little spots of dirt on his face, I used the spot healing brush.

Toys (outdoor)

My outdoor image was taken in front of my house with my sister's Minnie Mouse toy. I added two peices of mulch beside her to make it look like she is sitting on a park bench. I added brightness and contrast so her pink colors would stand out more.

Lightbox

This photo from the lightbox focuses on the black feather near the center of the image. I lightened all the yellow shades and darkened the feather so it would stand out even more.
