With Craig Turner-Bullock

Jannie Lou was the winner of the May 2022 Edit My Photo challenge in the Unleashed Education community.

As the winner of the challenge, Jannie Lou submitted this lovely image of a french bulldog, beautifully posed on a rock. 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.
