That is usually what I do, I just mainly crop on the area I want to show and maybe brighten them. I like the after on the sky picture. It turned out beautiful. Your pictures are always nice. I did play around with my pictures a lot this time though.
the editing certainly does highlight the rays of the sun a lot more. I love it. Great job. I know you strive for perfections SOOC, but a tweak here and there is wonderful. Great job my friend.
My gosh, that sunset is really amazing. BEAUTIFUL!
One word to describe your masterpiece ma'am Wendy, HEAVEN!. I love those photos you captured since the beginning of your blog.It shows the emotion! Keep it up and inspire others to come out from their shell and explore the world od photography.God bless ma'am Wendy!
I love the butterfly one. The sunset is beautiful . Good shots and editing too.
Your before picture of the sunset is damn near perfect....but I do love the little tweaks you did.
the butterfly shot is fantastic also.
ok, that sunset is gorgeous. Both photos!!!
Love them both, but prefer the second a little more!! Wonderful photo's as always.
Beautiful!! Both before and afters are nice shots, but I must admit that I didn't notice the butterfly in the first photo. Had to look at it again to see it!! lol Must be the blonde blindness!!
wow nice photos... nice bef n afters.. notice you love natural ants instects etc.. like butterfly birds etc. wow
Oh what a beautiful sunset!!! Nice make-over!!
Nice work there Wendy! Part of being a great photographer is the editing you can do to create a finished product...and you do this very well! All part of the creative process.
Love the sunset Wendy! Great Job! I love all your photos!
gorgeous as always my friend. I do think the sunset photo popped a bit more with the saturation tool, but honey NOTHING compares to your butterfly shots straight out of the camera. A little crop to get in super close and you've GOT IT!
Your pictures are so beautiful they hardly need any editing! But love how deeper color in the sunset and the close up of the butterfly!
The sunset is stunning!!

Your shots are awesome... and you editing make them even better!
