Filters

These are my filtered photos.

Edited:
This one I added the Softglow effect. I like the way it makes it more white, almost as if it's covered in snow.

This one I used the cartoon filter. I thought it added a fun texture to the photo. It looks different, but interesting.

Dodge & Burn

The three photo's I chose were ones that I had taken for previous weeks, but I just was interested to see what how I could change them with these new skills.

Edited:

 I basically darkened the entire image except for the sun. I think It helps not wash out the trees in the sky to have them be darker. Along with the trees on the bright snow.

This one I darkened the couch under his head ad I darkened the black parts of his eyes. It makes his face pop out a little more. and it helps his eyes from looking greenish.

This one I just lightened the seed pods. Although it is not that much different, I think that it brings out a little more detail in the pods.

Wanted to have a little fun with this one. Stuck my favorite little guy into a snowy scene. I like how his fur is shiny and it kind of looks like the sun is shining on his back :)

Landscape Photos

I was really looking forward to this assignment. I love taking photos of mountains and sunsets so I figured this would be a great opportunity. Unfortunately, it's winter time in Vermont, so everything's pretty dull..
  This photo^^ is one of my favorites. I really like how the tree on the right hangs over the picture. I wish the other tree wasn't there, but it's not like I could cut it down :)
 This is another one of my favorites^^ I guess I just liked the barn.
 And this one^^ is probably my third favorite. I guess I like the curve of the road with the tree line.
