I told you I’d post the other pictures that people entered, so here are their Before and After’s. Well, actually they are the After and Before, but that’s just getting a little technical :) And also worth mentioning, all my edits were done using Totally Rad Actions.
Comment away, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
_______________________________________________________________
April Zimmerman: This is one I wish I would have taken with my DSLR. It’s a cute picture, but could have used a better white balance, sharpness, and exposure.
Jenny Boxler Shifler: This one was not difficult at all. One, this girl is adorable! Two, the picture was huge, and I had alot to work with. All it needed was a little flare.
Jenny Edsall Shifler: This one was kinda hard. I didn’t know what to do with it, so I practiced CLONE STAMP!
Jodi Zeis: This one wasn’t too difficult either. Since they had just gone swimming, I threw some Pool Party in there, to warm it up a bit.
John Nozzi: I did get stuck on this one for awhile. I couldn’t find anything that made it POP like I wanted. So I did an over processed effect on it. Just for kicks.
Josh Rockwell: This one took my breath away when I opened it in the email. Woah. I just tried to highlight what I thought it needed and make it dark to bring out the reality of it.
Kristy Fry: This one was kinda tough. There were some spotty areas that needed darkened or lightened.
Krystal Skelley: This was beautiful. So I tried to do something a little new to me and unexpected. The words are all definitions of beauty.
Megan Bowman: For this one, I just had to find a way to switch the light sources in post. Turn down the sun on the trees and turn it up in the people.
Randall Gates: Gorgeous! Just warmed it up, and made it more in your face.
Robin Beatty: Another gorgeous one! I popped what I wanted and defined the details as much as I could.
Taylor Brenize: This one was fun. I bet you don’t notice the trees anymore.
Tucker Hibert: This one didn’t actually need anything done to it. I just tried to lighten the trees. Wish I had the Raw version of this!

these are all pretty amazing, but my favorite is the one with the flowers w/ the words you added. That’s pretty cool, but then again, that words describes you… pretty cool. Thanks for the challenge as well as showing us that there is more than just push the button and printing it out. this was fun!!
