This is the result of my first 2 edits bringing the photo-shoot down to 56 images and then further down to 9 images using the rating system

Most of the edits that I made were white balance adjustments as the images had came out very cold, during the shoot I changed the cameras white balance to compensate for this however this was quite far into the shoot and thus most of the images required some form of color correction.

The rest of the edits were mainly compensating for the dark shadows in the images in order to bring some more detail into the compositions.

Most of the images were taken using natural lighting in order to cast more directional shadows.

Here the shadows were brought higher in order to show the light reflecting off of the floor. Highlights were then lightly adjusted due to the exposure changes made.

Here the shadows were increased to accent the main subject of the image.

Here the white balance was adjusted to compensate for the cold lighting as well as some adjustments to contrast to bring out more of the details.

here i adjusted the various levels in order to help extenuate the natural vignetting created by the central light source

Here the shadows were brought up in order to bring out some more detail while not raising them too much in order to preserve the contrast between the shadows and highlights.

Here I adjusted the tint in order to come at this image with more of a stylistic approach.

On these 2 images of the hose I tried to accent the water within the images as it helps to bring out details as well as bring in some more highlights.
