Photo Editing - Wedding

For my next photo editing experiment I decided to play with a photo that I took at my friend's wedding. The aisle that she walked down was covered with red and pink flower petals, so I decided to take advantage of that burst of color.

Photo Editing - Flower

Another photo editing experiment. This is just a photo of a flower that I took while on a hike. The original is good, but I wanted to "warm" it up a bit and I also created a blurred effect around the flower.


Photo Editing - Sunset

Here is another photo editing experiment with a tree and sunset. It's a little more subtle and not as dramatic a change as my edited photos of the Flatirons, but I still think it has a cool look to it. The edited photo has an interesting effect where it looks like sunbeams are shooting out of the clouds.


Photo Editing - Flatirons

Because of car problems I was stuck at home yesterday, so I decided to spend my day playing around with a new photo editor. I found something online called Picnik and you upload your photo to their site and you edit it online. All of the basic editing features—and there are several of them—are free, but you can also upgrade your features by paying a small monthly fee. So far I've just been playing with the basic features, and I really like them. I'm holding off on upgrading to the premium edition until I decide that I really want it, and, more importantly, decided that I will use it enough to justify the cost. Here are a few of my photos that I've edited.
