My dog isn’t a fan of the cold, so putting a sweater on him is a must! I snapped a photo of him outside in the grass, and although it was a great photo of him, he could really capture the spotlight more with some editing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original image was a bit messy, with distractions like his shadow and uneven lighting. I adjusted the temperature to cooler colors and decided to use less contrast. I also made sure to crop the photo make him the focal point. I cropped the image using the “rule of thirds.” Instead of keeping him in the center, I positioned him at the top right intersection of the imaginary grid. This made him instantly more dynamic. Cropping also allowed me to remove his shadow and some of the distracting background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The edited image is much better! He is definitely the main character now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When looking for an image, I chose to look through pictures through my photo gallery. It was very easy to choose my pets as inspiration. This image looks even deeper now that it looks like he is looking out into the far distance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
