With Craig Turner-Bullock

Toni was the winner of the September 2022 Edit My Photo challenge in the Unleashed Education community.

As the winner of the challenge, Toni submitted this super cute image with the dog beautifully posed in a tree in the woods. In the edit, I’ll be balancing the exposure to even out the difference between the dark and light areas of the image. I'll be fixing up a strong colour cast on the dog and tidying up various distractions.
