Lighting• Examples of Hard and Soft light• White BalanceIs it good enough?Soft Light: Could have been done a lot more professionally, more on subjectHard Light: Good example but could of been sharper and looked better if the light was in a different directionHave I annotated it?Both pictures used the auto setting, the shots were taken quite basically. If I done them both again I’d try different Light Balances.

Balance• Creative PhotoshopIs it good enough?Cropped: Colour was only changed a little, is not really noticeable, imaged mainly croppedCreative Photoshop: A Little basic but still affectiveHave I annotated?Cropped image was a little too simple, colour changing would have been necessary to make it a lot more noticeable. My Photoshop image came out pretty well, I left to look more normal and added a few bits here and there, mainly a few paint brushes were used.
