Photoshopped Photos

You can defiantly tell that this photo was photoshopped, by both the colours of the sand and sky, and the shadows created from the bridge. Shadow can add a lot in a photo by adding emotion, emphasis and many other shapes that don't appear in the original photo. The original photo would not have had such dark and strong looking shadows from the bridge, nor would it have such intense colours. The editing made the photo more calm and non realistic, which adds more effect.
 
This photo has been changed a lot, the waves that are hitting the shore are contrasted, showing all the separate droplets of water. Not only did they use effect on that, they darkened the image making it have a more mysterious look. If it was in colour, it would look more happy and cheerful. Also, they darkened the clouds around the moon, making it more haunted looking. This photo is defiantly a very dark and mysterious looking photo, making it have emotion of more gloomy.
 
This photo has been highlighted in the sky, making it more pink and cheerful looking. They also darkened the trees, making them no longer the focus point. There is a took on photoshop that makes the photo a mirror image in any direction, they defiantly used a horizontal mirror image making it look like two images in one. It happy but also not as cheerful as it would have been in the real image. The made the blue in the sky more darker, and causing the land in the centre more dark makes it not as bright. The emotion would be between happy and depressing.
 
I think the emotion in this photo before it got photoshopped would have been more bright and look more like day time. When the person photoshopped it, they shadowed the top right side of the photo, the bottom of the photo, and defiantly the person and their shadow. It makes it have more of a depressing emotion now, giving me a feeling that it is a African boy. In the background, it looks like a very tiny village, but also the water looks very muddy, making it have more feeling and emotion. They contrasted the water, making it look both calm and smooth.
 
Not sure why, but this photo really creeps me out. It looks so happy in the background with the bright blue sky and clouds, but then the shadow of a tree on the cylinder makes it happy a spooky feeling. The original photo would have just been a cylinder with the stair case and the sky in the background. They used the shadow settings, making the shadows appear, making it more interesting and have a different idea than the original.
