Photo Editing

I really like this photo. I think the use of diagonal lines, pattern and repetition make it very appealing to the eyes. The green, brown, and white meld together well, creating an aesthetically pleasing image with a focus and out out-of-focus concept. Also, the image is not such a close-up that one can’t tell that what the subject is.

I believe this is a good photo, however, I think it needs some work. It needs to be sharper; it seems a bit blurry to me. I also think that the colors don’t stand out very well. I have a photo editing software on my computer, and the program comes with an auto edit feature. I tried that feature, and it immediately sharpened the image. After seeing the image sharpened, I darkened heightened the contrast so it matches more with the mood and time of the photo.
