This picture I really wanted to play with it a lot. I went for a more unnatural and cartoonish look. I set the  luminance really high and up'd the contrast, vibrance and color saturation. I also used a slight vignette for focus and used a lot of clarity to bring back the details of the ground. I liked the blurry/smeared sky with a more focused ground. The picture kind of leads you around but you don't have anywhere to go. I feel it is a concept of venturing into the world and being  a wonderer.

I cropped us down so we were more in focus. I up'd the vibrance and painted the sky blue. A small vignette also brought more focus on us. I obviously didn't take the picture but I wanted to edit so that we looked better and I could give this picture to my date. I also enjoy the light behind our heads because it gave us a haloed look.

I up'd the vibrance and saturation and add a heavier vignette. I wanted to have the focus of the picture more of following the yellow strip down the road. The vignette helps this effect the most. And I like the contrast of yellow and blue and I felt add vibrance helped them contrast.

This is my bike and I love it. The original picture didn't show how it really looks but with a little editing its true beauty  comes forth. I really up'd the vibrance added contrast with darkening the shadows. I also increased the individual red and blue saturations. I also added a vignette to bring more focus to the bike and let the background be more a complementary color to the picture instead of competing for attention.
