This is a photograph I took this year while driving around, I took it on my phone. I really liked the almost ominous and slightly symmetrical look to this place. It had a really moody atmosphere and I tried to further capture that while editing in Lightroom. I muted the green and desaturated the photo. I also lifted the highlights and darkened the shadows. Overall, I really like this photo and think it carries and spooky and mysterious feeling.

This photo was taken using my phone. In this photo, my friend, Elyssa, is posed in front of tree filled with bright pink blossoms. The ground behind her is also dotted with yellow dandelions. Elyssa is wearing a dark blue coat, teal backpack, and holding a light pick sweater. The clothes Elyssa is wearing do in someways compliment the background colours. Her dark blue allow her to stand out in the photo and not fade into the background. In the composition Elyssa is positioned further to the left, the tree in the background, further to the right. This allows for the tree to still be seen, while keeping Elyssa as the main subject of the photo.
When editing this photo I brought it into Lightroom. Firstly, I white balanced the whole image. Then I adjusted the exposure, contrast, vibrance, highlights, and clarity. As well I focused on more so muting the green more and adding more contrast to the pink in order for the colour to 'pop'. In doing this it allowed for a clearer, more visually appealing coloured photo.
