In this picture I chose to crop and use the black and white effect in which it makes the picture look more old but also the effects make it stand out. This is a picture of the peace garden, how it looks now. I chose this picture because it looks like a very old building in black and white, however I like how there was just enough sunlight to get a perfect picture because as you can see it is not underexposed nor is it over exposed. The picture below is an before picture in which you can tell what i cropped out and the reason being is because the floor is not showing anything interesting and cropping it out not only brings the picture out more but makes it look like a proffessional picture.
In these two pictures you can slightly tell that I have made the colour come out more and made it look warm rather then in the first picture where it looks cold, however while usuing the colour balance I chose to use more red then anything else just to get that perfect picture.
In these two pictures as you can see I have used the edited version but also added a frame to make the picture look more effective in which I believe the black and white image looks more effective because its in black and white whereas the image next to it still has its effects but not as effective.
