Unit 2 Photo Assignment 1

This picture, taken in the morning light, was a little too dark for my taste as there was an obvious overcast.
Here is the original photograph:


Here is the same photograph after I adjusted both the lighting and contrast using Picasa:
I believe you get a better view of the background trees by removing the shadows from the original photo. Just a quick click of the auto contrast button made a very dramatic difference in how vivid the photo could be!
I didn't stop there though, my second image shows how much more effective the photo is once additional adjustments balanced the colors and lighting.
