Before & After

I have not posted a "before and after" before, so it is about time. Editing is a huge part of a photographer's job. It is one of the many reasons you use a professional, it can take a so-so picture and make it a WOW!

Last weekend I shot the Lipan Jr. Rodeo and during the editing process one picture just haunted me. I just couldn't get it to work. Well yesterday I got a new editing software and amazing enough I got the image to work today! I just knew that somewhere inside that BAD picture was a GREAT picture. The first image is the "before" - image taken straight out of camera with absolutely no editing.

The next two are edited, one with normal color saturation and the second with low color saturation.
