This is a new one for me - I don't usually edit anyone's images but my own but what the heck. Maybe it was the sight of that beautiful beach when it's winter here that did it. I thought it a good way to hone my Lightroom skills anyway.
This is the original image
What did I do?
Used a Lightroom preset to warm up the image and give it a golden glow.
Altered the exposure.
Smoothed the skin on her back.
Lightened her face slightly as it was in shadow.
Added a graduated filter to the sky.
Cloned out the green flare on the groom.
Added a slight vignette.
Sharpened.
Cropped slightly to make it conform more to the rule of thirds.
And my other effort.
I changed it to a cream toned b&w.
I again smoothed the brides skin and lightened her face.
Graduated filter for the sky plus a vignette.
Lightened the groom's jacket slightly to bring back some detail in the fabric.
Cropped, gave the image some punch, and sharpened.
