Edit Me Challenge - Berries


This Edit Me Challenge picture is from Beth, a stay-at-home-mom of 2 little girls.

For this edit I first adjusted the curves level to heighten the contrast.

Next I sharpened the image using unsharp mask.

I decided to add a vignette to bring the eye to the center with the berries.

Then I used a preset called Sixties Slide to add a retro color effect to the picture.  I think it made the pretty berries really stand out and toned down the bright green to a more olive color.

And that's all folks!  Thank you for such a fantastic picture to edit Beth.  I love the bokeh!

Here is the before:
