The title of my image is Flower Shower. I took the picture on July 16th with my Canon EOS Rebel T6 of my cousin Katelyn and the Botanical Gardens. To edit the photo I went into Nik Collection and used the detail extractor to bring more attention to her features, like her freckles. I then bumped up the contrast so her hair was darker, more distinctive and the original picture is very much washed out and the same overall tone so it helped a lot. I also removed a couple blemishes with the patch tool that she had on her lip, forehead and by her hairline. Originally I was going to edit this photo by having her face split through the middle and on the right side put her younger sisters face. Since her younger sister was smiling in nearly every photo and is a couple years younger, I felt their faces didn’t line up well enough for the effect I was going for. I also used the burn tool on her eyes. I tend to like my pictures darker so I struggled with trying to keep the photo too dark, I ended up deciding to keep the shadows on her face where I liked them and used the Nik Collections control points to brighten up the background around her hair. I really like this picture but I think to make it better I’d like to be able to soften some of her peach fuzz as to take attention away from it without making her face seem plastic.

This picture is amazing. I love how focus the picture is. The lighting is perfect in this picture. Her eyes looks really nice. I don't think so you need to changed any thing in this picture. You did a great job!
This is a beautiful photo. I love the warm tones and how the sun is shining on her face. The flowers are nice addition as well. Good work!
