>>7831370I'm glad you're out there taking pictures, honestly. It is incredibly rewarding to have someone like your work. But editing is half the battle, friend. I HIGHLY advise you start shooting in RAW format if you don't already. RAW gives you a much greater range of possible edits. And download Lightroom mobile. Its free. To start, I would just hit "auto" and see what the computer does. Your eye is always better than the AI, but it gives you a starting place. Maybe you're like me. I used to think "editing" was a dirty word. It implied fakeness. That isn't what you should be doing or thinking. Editing just lets you show how it really appeared, or slightly "enhance" certain attributes etc. You should try it. For comparison, I have attached my original, unedited photo.
