Before and After

I promise I will do better in the creative department of editing. :)
I was just playing around in Lightroom and I really liked how this picture came out so I wanted to share.
Here is the before-
just another cat shot.


Here is the after-


I think it looks better side-by-side like I saw it in Lightroom.
I boosted the vibrancy and specific color saturation such as green, yellow and blue. I also added some vignetting.
It would have been even better if he didn't have his one ear out to the side. He did that when my camera was making noise focusing.
Don't forget to stop by Monica's blog and see her edit and others.



I will be busy tomorrow so hopefully I can check out every one's edits tomorrow night!

  13. Oh, that's the second kitty post I've read tonight...so cute! It makes me wish we had one but my hubby is not a fan of cats, or I should say not a fan of litter boxes!

    I like the edit, makes his eyes stand out. And I actually like his little ear tweeked to the side :-)
