When editing this photograph in Photoshop I began by firstly bring up the tone of the picture by simply using Auto tone which slightly helped enhance the colour and gave it less of a bland look.

I adjusted the vibrance to a higher level which really brought out all of the bright Red’s and greens in the photograph.

ORIGINAL EDITED

In Photoshop I used the Magnetic lasso tool to separate the the rose petals from the rest of the image. I brought up the levels of red in the rose and also brightened the image getting rid of the dark shadows.

I took the background and gave it a black and white filter separating it from the bright rose and giving it a contrasting finnish.

ORIGINAL EDITED

I began by using the lasso tool to cut the closest petals from the image so I could separate them from the background giving the image a 3d effect.

I gave the background a warm photo filter giving it a relaxed natural look. For the closest two petals I used a slight drop shadow to put further focus on that element of the photo.

ORIGINAL EDITED

For this photograph I used a simple crop feature to give the image a better composed and structured frame, including examples such as the rule of thirds.
