This was taken in the Canyonlands National Park during me and Isaac’s adventuring through the southwest.
It is also my entry in the Ephiphanie Picture it, photo contest! You can see the other entries and enter your own (until June 20th) over at their blog.

I was inspired by Brian Gaynor‘s recent posts, such as this one, where he applies post processing to his photography to create new and unique versions of his already beautiful photos. He uses Corel, but I’ve known PhotoShop Elements offers some of these techniques as well, and I finally got around to trying some of them out on my own photos today!
You might recognize this cherry from yesterday’s post. It’s such a basic image, it was perfect to apply some of these techniques to.

And a few of my favorites from the experimentation:
one
two
three
four
five
six
This is just a drop in the bucket, there is so much more to try! I would like to figure out how to do this sort of thing on my own without using the presets, just for my own knowledge.
Which change is your favorite?
