What are you trying to communicate with your photo – before and after?

when I took this picture, I wanted to communicate that social distancing shouldn’t be forced or obnoxious, rather it should be for your safety. In this time and wherever you go you need to social distance. when I was editing this picture I wanted it to feel colorful and eye catching. I wanted the colors to be engaging with a very overwhelming  times with these restrictions we have to follow.

What photoshop tools did you use to modify the “after” photo?

I Change the mood, adjust brightness and contrast which would give the picture a brighter look and for the surroundings. I used cool and warm images used filters which would give me depth. I cropped  and straightened the image  to draw focus to the object Shadows and highlights. I remove blemishes and blurred the background to make the message more focused. And I cleaned some parts of the image with the touch-up tool, which allowed me to clean up marks.

What do you want to learn next in Photoshop?

There are many things I want to learn but I few are which, I  want to learn more about the tools that can help emphasize a certain part of an image, how to put effects in images, and layers. I do wish we had more time on Photoshop , because of how creative you can get and having fun with the pictures you take.
