To edit this picture of American soccer player Landon Donovan I went to Edit > Transform > Rotate and rotated it to the right. I then added purple to the background to make it more interesting. I also went to Filter > artistic and used the poster edges effect. i feel this picture shows creative framing.
This picture shows contrast. I went to lighting effects and played around with the exposure, intensity, and focus. I also used the dodge and burn tools to make the contrast more apparent.
For the final picture I used Image > adjustment > curves and gave the picture a specific directional lighting coming from the top right corner. Then I went to Filter and artistic and gave it an interesting effect.
