My Edits
When editing this image, I set the brightness to -68 and the contrast to 30. The contrast adds dramatic effect to the darker clouds behind the tree. The trees in the background have a slight blur but the foreground is more focused showing a narrow depth of field.
For this image, I quick selected the sky and set the contrast to 100 and the brightness to -82, giving the overall sky a romanticized style. I then added further contrast setting the whole image to a contrast of 46 to make the whole image more natural looking.
For the above image, I set the brightness to -102 and the contrast to 100 to create the more gloomy romantic style.
I quick selected the sky and increased contrast. I then decreased brightness to give the clouds dramatic effect.
For this image, I converted this image to black and white by reducing saturation and increased the contrast to 100. The image of a large cliff felt similar to Ansel Adams’ work of mountain scenes.
I adjusted the levels of dark to light and increased contrast to amplify the sun emerging from the clouds.
