Altered close up shot. I wanted this picture to bring out the colors of everything in the photo. I raised the vibrance and saturation up to the max. I also edited the color balance to show the true colors of the tree in the backround and the basketball as well. 

Close up shot. Ryan palming the ball to throw down a monster dunk to end a successful day of basketball. 

Altered landscape photo. I wanted this photo to look like it could have been taken at night, so I used the invert tool, and I really liked it. I also changed just the yellow and blue color balance to leave a bluish tint. 

Landscape photo. Raising up and holding the follow through in perfect form with the rest of the block behind him. 

Altered symmetric photo. I tried a lot of different things to try and make this seem like it was a real basketball court rather than a park, so I used the posterize tool to get a rough look to it, and I did a color look up to try and find the best fit.

Symmetric photo. Ball rolled to the middle of the court, and thought it was a great example of symmetry. 

Altered rule of thirds photo. Added a threshold and really liked how it made the yard and house look. It was tough to see Ryan so I added a vector mask and used the eraser tool to color him back in. 

Rule of thirds photo. Ryan fully extending to make the one handed grab. 

Altered portrait. I wanted this photo to look as if you would hang it as a poster. I added a layer to turn it black and white and then used the eraser tool on the ball to make it the only thing in color. I thought it made it look a little more "classic". 

Portrait. Looking out waiting for the sun to to set under the trees to play a game under the stars. 

Altered action shot. I added a blue and yellow gradient, because Ryan is a University of Michigan fan. I also adjusted the hue and saturation levels. 

Action shot. Ryan warming up for a pick up game at my house over the weekend.
