Working With Photoshop

With this first photo i cropped out the left window to bring the crack from the center of the photo into the left hand side. I changed the exposure and the hue to bring out the ray from the sun. Then i darkened the contrast to emphasize the shadows made from the sun.

This picture was quite crooked when i first got it, so i rotated it and cropped out some of the bottom to concentrate on the clouds. I fixed the exposure and added a bit more gamma and contrast. then i adjusted the shadows and added in a bit more light.

With this picture i adjusted the exposure to make the shadows stand out. I cropped the image to go along with the rule of thirds, and i rotated it as well because it was slightly crooked. I played around with the levels and contrast until i thought it looked its best.
