Before & After (Just Dreaming) - a photo on Flickriver

_____________________________________________________

Before and After versions of this picture. You can view many
other before/after examples in this video (YouTube) and also
in this blog post (Blogger).

I think it can be useful to share this with you to show how I'm
usually editing my photos... Most of the time, I'm simply trying
to remove all the little imperfections from the original pic and I
also spend some time improving the lights, tones, colors and
the general composition of the photo.

I really always want to preserve the "essence" and "spirit"
of the original shot. All the edits I do in post-production
are only meant to express an idea or a message (usually
explained in the title or description of my posts on Flickr).

PS: Some affordable gift ideas (4/12) for Christmas!!
