When I first started in photography, I had a Canon T5 with some pretty crappy ket lenses. I really had no clue what I was doing and would just wander around and take pictures of all sorts of different things and try and make them look different than what they do when you look at them with your eyes.
This photo was just a little puddle in a shadow that had a small amount of light shimmering on the surface of it. When I took the shot, I set it on the most wide open aperture setting my lens would do, which was f/5.6, so that I could get the most blur of the background.
This photo directly above is the original image. As you can see, the color was very saturated. I also didn't really like the way I had chosen to crop it either.
I lowered the amount of saturation that was used, and adjusted the color levels and the blacks. I am overall satisfied with the way the new edit came out. I think it is a lot more of the way I would do things nowadays. This is the second post in my #re-edit series you can check out my first one here titled Monochrome Monday - Innocence.
