Before & After - Bench


I shared a clean edit of this bench a few days ago for Scavenger Hunt Sunday.
I know the focus is off - and not in a good way, but I really like the image all the same. Today I wanted to share a much different look for this image.

After:

I use PSE 8 to edit and may have done the following:
(please note that my memory is awful and these steps are not necessarily in order...or accurate.)

1. Add some kind of Kim Klassen texture...I think.
2.  Adjust hue to be a bit more red (this I know I did!)
3. Possibly lightened midtones with levels.

  7. The edit is great! It ties it all together to where the focus isn't so dominant. Very nice!
