Before & After

I really hate shooting photos in doors. No matter how close to the window I get, I am never completely satisfied with the outcome. Even with the correct White Balance. This photo I liked because of the clarity of the spots on the flower [pardon my use of the term ‘spots…’ I know nothing about gardening or flowers. LOL] But the lighting of the background wasn’t my favorite. So I ran a few actions by The Pioneer Woman and played around with the contrast and levels. I also added textures that I found via Google. I can’t even tell you specifically where they came from. I shot this using my Canon Xsi and a 50 mm/1.8 lens. This was edited in Photoshop Elements 8.
