I decided to edit this image as I felt the original image was too dark due me using a high f-stop when taking the image. I edited the image in Photoshop and began cropping the image to 1024 x 768 px. Then I wanted to edit the brightness and contrast to make the image lighter. I set the contrast to -10 and the brightness to +54. The lightness is set to +3 and the saturation is +9. I feel as though the image looks better after I have edited it as it is a clearer image now.

I decided to edit this image as the original image was vey dark and it was hard to fully see the face of the person in the image. I began by cropping my image to 1:1 (square) as it was originally a portrait picture. I wanted to make it brighter so edited the exposure by changing the Gamma correction to +1.17. However, after doing this the colours of the sky became drowned out and lost so I brought them back by changing the saturation at +26 and lightness to +8. Now he is more visible but the colours of the sunset have stayed too.
