4pm photo before and after and work in progress

This photo is for my photo essay and is to help my essay have some sort of narrative. I cropped the image so you could only see the time and then made it black and white because it gives it the authentic effect that I wanted it to have. I have 4 other shots similar to this but with different times and they have been edited in the same way.

Yellow rose before and after and work in progress

The purpose of this image is to make a good  impression on my nature exhibition. I added vignette and cropped the image so the subject is more prominent and gave the photo some depth. This gives my photo a more professional look and  deepens the appearance which was my aim for this photo.

The purpose of this image is to make a good  impression on my nature exhibition. I added a black and white curves layer to deepen the flower and also cropped the flower so it met the rule of thirds more. This gives my photo a vintage look.
