Except for the photos of La Manzanilla beach, all of the photos are from my yard. The first photo is of the fin of a needlefish near sunset. You can see it again in the second to last photo. At a certain stage of darkness, my camera tends to translate darkness as rose pink. Thus the pink glow in the photo of the palm tree.
Version 1: This is the picture as I first show it, with no edits. The sky is washed of its actual vivid colors.
Version 2: Hoping to recapture the actual colors of the sunset that were washed out in my original picture, I increased the saturation to 100. This looks exaggerated, but it is much closer to the actual vibrancy of sunset than the original had captured. It has been suggested that I should have used a sunset setting, which I will try next time.
Version 3: This version is just like version 2 except i increased the sharpness to 100 percent.
I didn’t realize until after I posted that week 1 was supposed to show the first edit of the photo, so I have shown both first and second edits in week 2.
