Before and After....

I thought I would post a little before and after to show the huge difference editing makes in an image.

I always love when I see other photographers do this and share tips and tricks.

This was shot with my 24-70 mm lens zoomed all the way to 70mm. f 2.8 and 1/500th of a second. ISO 200 in RAW

Here is a before shot. 

I shot this in a pretty safe open shade with a little bit of light coming around the corner of the building. I wanted to give her a little bit of a hair light and make my colors a bit more dramatic.

And her is the after. I popped my colors a bit with a soft light layer and a multiply layer. I also gave more a direct light coming around the corner of the building with dodging and burning. (dodging where light was already falling and burning the shadows even more)
