For my first assignment I chose this photo of the gutter drain as the water drips out. I was really happy with how the original picture came out but through the 4 different edits I did, I was able to create an ominous feeling through the photos with. With my last edit I did try and go for a lighter feeling.
Original Photo
Black and White
I really enjoy the curves tool and used it on each edit. I burned the ground to give it a darker contrast, though I did feel like the brick was a little too late after I finished editing.
Black and White 2
For this edit I did try and go for a lighter feel to it still using the curves.
Cool Tones
I feel like this one didn't have the right mood for what I was trying to go for, but I do really enjoy the contrast from all the highlights and shadows on the ground.

I had a ton of fun with this edit. I wanted it to make someone feel like there is something about to crawl out of the drain. Having the extremely dark ground in contrast to the very light brick wall really draws attention to the drain which is exactly what I was going for.

This last edit was my favorite. I really wanted to go for an older looking photo which I think I was able to accomplish with this edit.
