edit me

It’s been a good while since I’ve participated in any kind of photo challenge.  I have some pics i snapped this morning but haven’t had time to process them so I thought I’d hop over to see what the Edit Me pic was this week.  Very pretty – makes me long for summer because of the water and green trees all around.  Here is the original shot we were given…

And here is my edit:

I’m in this whole “less is more” mindset lately so I really just wanted to enhance the colors that were already there.  I did that by bumping up the saturation & vibrance and then applied a summery haze to the shot.  Very simple but now the colors really speak to you.  All my edits were done in Photoshop CS4.  Hop over and see the other edits.  See ya’ll tomorrow!

    I like how you brought out the greens. I imagine this is exactly how a real jungle would look.
