With Charlotte Reeves

Angie was the winner of the June 2022 Edit My Photo challenge in the Unleashed Education community.

As the winner of the challenge, Angie submitted this stunning image of a black tri Australian Shepherd, beautifully posed on a tree stump in the woods. In the edit, I’ll be simplifying the image, removing distractions and playing with Masks in Lightroom to help the dog stand out against a rather distracting background.
