I decided to get a little more creative with this photo. I did my normal adjustments: increased brightness with curves, adjusted the skin tones, cloned out a few hot spots on her face. Then I played around with cropping, but I couldn’t come up with anything I liked.
I liked the brightness of this image and how the sun was shining. I decided to apply a texture to enhance that look. I think it turned out pretty fun.

I like it; the texture took it from being just an ordinary edit, and made it have more life to it. That’s great! Thanks!
