Always greener on the other side...

Before

After

This is a picture that I took in my backyard for the unit 1 photo assignments. I think that it is actually a weed but I thought that it was pretty. The original picture was dark and somewhat dull. I used Picasa to enhance the photo. First I used the effects tab and increased the saturation. Then I increased the fill lighting in the tuning tab. When I first took this picture I didn't think there was anything wrong with the picture. I thought it was really good, but once I saw the difference side by side I can see how much better the enhanced picture is. The enhancements make the flower really pop out of the background. I think the saturation makes the entire picture brighter and more vibrant. Picasa does a wonderful job of enhancing pictures!!
