I have developed this photos with the Lightroom app, which it is fairly new to me. I'm still getting used to its interface but the app gives me a lot of freedom to edit tone curve, blacks, shadows, highlights and whites and so many other adjustments. 
It also comes with a few good presets. Like for example photos 12, 11, 10, 9 and 8 I played around with different tonalities like creamtone, sepia, selenium and split tone. Each picture can look so different with a different setting, I really liked sepia for 11 because it reminded me of laying in the backseat of my dad's car and watching outside at sun down. 
I try to get pictures from different angles when possible. If I have an idea, I will tape my phone to the ceiling, clamp it to a step ladder or rest it against whatever I can find.

  1. I really like all of your pictures and the angles that you shot from, especially in the first picture at the top. I like how you took the picture from above looking straight down. My favorite picture is the 5th one down from the top. I like how you took the picture from the level of the swing and you can see the light coming in through the trees. It reminds me of when I was younger, I have a swing like that in my parents back yard.

  2. Your pictures are really well done, but my favorites are the first two. I like the first picture because it looks as if your subject is blending in with the wall, that is a really cool effect and most of the picture looks like a cartoon, while her arms look regular. When I looked at the second photo quickly I thought the women was floating on the water. I also like the environment with the trees, sky, and water. It makes it not only look as if the woman is very in tune with nature, but she also looks at peace.

  3. My favorite photo is number 1. It is taken from a view that no one usually sees. It is interesting to see pictures from a perspective that is usual not seen. The contrast of the picture is very nice and simple. When looking at this picture, I start to wonder what the person is thinking and why the person is wearing clothes into the water. It gives a sense of mystery and is very intriguing.

  4. Wow! I love all of your pictures, especially the first one. I like how you took the photo from an unusual angle. It makes the photo so much more interesting. The edit on the photo is nice too because the contrast really brings out your tattoos. I also really like number 8 and number 9. The texture of the bridge in number 8 is very interesting to look at especially with the reflection in the water. You took number 9 at a really cool angle as well. I love how you chose to only get a portion of the ferris wheel in.

  5. Photo number 2 is my favorite. I feel like it brings people back to a child hood memory, and the sun peaking through the trees give it a positive feeling.

  6. All your photos are very well done! I particularly like your first sp as well as photo number 2. Your sp is so interesting because of the angle and level of contrast - everything is just awesome. But photo 2 gets me because I see it as if it were taken from the eyes of a child, in terms of the angle. It's kind of a sad photo even though the swings bring so many children joy.
