EditMe challenge wk12

 This week's fabulous judge is Beth from Snaps of Our Life! Here is a little bit more about her:

I am a SAHM to two girls, Lauren is 4 and Avery is 2. I love taking photos and have recently taken up the treadmill, which I do not love. I have been married nearly 5 years and we've lived in Minnesota for 4 of those years. I love to drink dark chocolate campfire mochas, and play Words with Friends on my phone. My blog is a mix of pictures and advocating for my daughter, who has Down syndrome.

Here's the SOOC

I really enjoyed editing this image so Thank you Beth, I've had fun!

• Opened in CS5
• Created a copy 
• Cropped and rotated the image and moved the crop bars around till I got the piece I wanted for a closer up image.
• Cloned a few twigs from the image (actually I used the Spot healing brush cos I couldn't get the clone to do it properly).
• Opened curves and played.
• Opened HDR and played.
• Opened a vibrancy thing by accident so played with that too.
• I think I may have even added a warm photo filter at some point as well.
• Added a border via canvas size. While working in canvas size I clicked on 'other colours' and used the eyedropper to pick some colour from the berries and used that as the border colour.
• Flattened and saved.

Thank you as always to Branson and Stephanie for hosting this challenge.
