What a great day...for experiences!

I've decided to edit a picture taken by me in the park last year. It's amazing how many different emotions one single image can transfer after applying some changes using an image editing software (I used Photoshop 7).

 

The original picture, straight out of the camera. Since I'm not a professional photographer, it does not have a very good quality...but let's see what we can do with it! : ) 

 

After slightly increasing the contrast and lowering the brightness.

After "playing" with the color curves for a while and taking some advice from some very useful pages around the web, I've managed to get many different looks from the retouched image.

      Turning Summer into Fall.

      And why not into Spring?

       How about a walk under the moonlight?

        Let's make a sketch....

                                                                                                                                                                                      ....and colour it!

         This one looks like it was inside that old dusty box that one keeps under his/her bed : )

On a side note... If so much can be done with a simple picture, and an untrained mind, doesn't that make you wonder what could be done, with better means and skills?

....

I believe the right question is : "What can NOT be done?"
