For my photo today I decided to go a different route than I usually do. I went with a creative edit. To me, a creative edit means that you do not aim to make the photo look as close to the natural scene you saw. Instead you aim to put your artistic interpretation on it. So for this shot of the Clark Lake Park sunset, I decided to take what was already there and bring it out through making the colors vivid and bright, more so than could be considered natural. I did this in Lightroom by upping the vibrance and saturation to the same level (a trick I learned from Ashley Sisk back when she was hosting the edit part of Shoot and Edit) and then by using the tone curve and the HSL levels. This I learned from a friend of mine who is a contributor at Click it Up a Notch. Melissa had some great tips for the tone curve that I also applied to the HSL levels. I think because I do not usually go with creative edits, I kept this a little more on the subtle side in comparison to others' definitions of creative edits. For me, I simply love it! What do you think?
