Only A Little Edit

I'm taking a break from doing my essay. I think I deserve it, I've written a full 88 words so far... yeah that's how long the title is. I hate essays. However after this post I am going to try my very bestest to do it.

First though, I've had a little play with Photoshop. Only a tiny tiny play with photoshop because I don't actually like photoshop (yes it was a distraction).

The original

The edited version

What do you think? I think I prefer the edited version but I'm not sure... The only real difference is a bit of desaturation in the grass, a small pushing of the blacks in levels and the tiniest of crops.

A Cheeky Edit

Photoshop is not my strong point and nor has it ever been. Today though I spent some time playing around on CS6. I spent most of the time stressing out because I couldn't get the image how I want it. It still isn't how I want it. However, I am still liking what I have managed to get.

As you can see, contrast has been whacked up to emphasise the shadows on the stones and some of the saturation has been taken out as well. Ideally, I'd like to be able to pump some of the yellow back in to the photo. 

I'm not usually a fan of hugely edited images (although, this isn't thaaaat huge), what are your thoughts?

To be able to get my head round this newer version of photoshop, I'm going to have to play around a lot more, so expect more posts like this one. Maybe.
