Choice #1



This picture was taken on October 21st at approximately 11:30 in the morning. My camera was set to no flash.




To edit the image, I first went to the levels menu and enhanced the shadows and the highlights. Next, I raised the cyan, green, and blue on the color balance menu. Lastly, I used the burn tool a little bit on the banner hanging on the side of the building to bring out the color. I really like the edited image a lot better than the original. I think the colors look more saturated, and the red sign stands out more. Overall, it's a lot less dull. I like the contrast between the red of the sign, the white of the ledge, and the black of the shadow underneath. There's some interesting lines, too.
