Swamps and Dead Trees: Edit Me Challenge
May 4, 2012 in Uncategorized
This week’s challenge came in the form of a swamp and dead trees. This is the photograph we were challenged to edit.
And here is my edit:
I wanted to bump up the saturation and color, so I worked on that first. Then I copied the top half of the picture and rotated it 180 degree. I applied an ocean ripple filter, then added a little bit of the gaussian blur filter. I opened up HDR Toning, under the adjustments menu in Photoshop, and increased the saturation even more and adjusted a few other options.
Finally I added a polaroid frame that I recently acquired after reading Alicia’s post.
I was going for a surreal, painted look. I also wanted to bring out more color and boldness. I am really happy with the results!

Love the teals and blues
What a totally different perspective with your crop! Great job turning it into painted art.
I like the mirror image effect you created and the ocean ripple textures creates a painterly look. The colors really stand out and are so exciting! I also like the border you gave it. Thanks for sharing!
Hi, Your edits are very interesting especially the addition of the ripples, the colours and tones are very warming. Well done
