Edit Me Challenge - Sprinkler Girl


Branson, one of the hosts of the Edit Me Challenge, supplied this week's photo.  This fun summer picture is of her adorable niece.  :)

My busy schedule has kept me from the challenge for awhile so it is fun to be back this week!

First thing I did was crop the photo to better frame the little girl.

Next I started adjusting the colors.  I ended up going for a retro technicolor look.  I like the way it makes this picture look like it could be from almost any era.  :) 

After I arrived at this color edit I cropped the photo again because the shadow areas in the picture ended up too dark.

After that I sharpened it just a smidge and was done.


Here is the before:


And here is the after:

  1. love this edit. I like how you changed the colour of the girls clothes and hair tie. And your right, this photo could really be from any era.

    I also have a monthly photo challenge and would love it if you would join in

  2. This edit is great! I think that going cooler instead of warmer sets it apart!
