Water (Re-edited)

Original

Model: Alyssa

I've been wanting to go back and re-edit this for quite a while, and yesterday I found the perfect excuse when my Business Photography teacher told me I should enter my elements series in a contest. When I first edited the photo it was before I knew enough to save a psd of the composited image before I merged, so I went back and re-converted the RAW's and re-expanded.

I'm really happy with the re-edit! It's a lot cleaner. I realized that part of the reason the first edit was so rough looking was becasue I had a longer shutter speed while shooting and didn't hold the camera still enough for some of the shots, so some areas still aren't, and won't be, perfect but it's a whole lot better! I also wanted to do some manipulation on the dress so that she didn't look like her body was a triangle, as it is in the original. And I wanted the water jug and water to be a lot more clear than they were. I included a close up so you can see that better. (seriously compare this close up shot to the one I included on the original. It's soooo much better). I also did a B/W version!

So nice to actually see and feel like I've improved!!
