Good to Wow: Looking up edits!

For the second half of the Good to Wow link up, I'm sharing the edits I did on these shots. I haven't graduated to advanced photo processing yet, so I mostly just played with color levels and ran a few Pioneer Woman actions (Boost and Lovely & Ethereal are my favorites to play with!), but I LOVE how the edits came out!

Balloons- these were harder to edit than I thought they would be. They were so overblown that it was hard to make the colors really come out. I do love how they turned out so ethereal. The next thing I want to work on is editing out lines (like the power lines in the 2nd picture), but I'm happy with my current results!

Roommateo: I LOVE how these came out! The colors look so much better and the actions made my roommateo glow!!

SOOC:

So much better!

I know what I think of these edits- what do you think? I'd love to hear some opinions on these edits!!

Shoot and Edit: Part 1

Ashley Sisk and Jill Samter hold a weekly photo editing challenge. I haven't participated before, but since I've started playing with PhotoShop more, I'm ready to give it a try! Stop by Jill's site for other SOOC shots, and then check back later this week for the final edit!
