Retouch Fridays!

Hey everyone!

I know I'm not a regular blogger, but I'm making some plans that will (hopefully) help me to become a better blogger.  My first idea is to do Retouch Fridays, where I post the original image and the retouched image and explain what I did. 

Soo....Here's an image Frank took earlier this week. We drove to the Fines Creek area and just had our own little photo shoot.  It was a lot of fun, but it was also very difficult to take pictures of yourself without someone else there to help.  

Frank wanted to experiment with sun flare.  This shot is a pretty good one compositionally, but it just needed a little "boost" to jazz it up a bit.



To me, in photos like these, it's all about color. So, I played around with the contrast slider in Photoshop, bumped up the saturations and played with Curves until I was happy with the end result:
