It appears I have managed to stick to my challenge for a second day, yay me!! The photo I chose for today is one I am really unhappy with. Last year we made a trip to the Ft. Steele Heritage Town outside of Cranbrook, BC. It was a very bright and sunny day, one that casts really hard light so while I had great subject matter I wasn't really happy with the resulting photos.
I'm still not sure I love this photo but I was trying to soften the effect of the harsh sunlight.
Here is today's photo:

After:
Again, not really in love with the after shot. But I do think I was successful somewhat in lightening the shadows with a levels adjustment, I did adjust the black or the white just the colors in the middle. I then ran Nelly Nero's Chocolate Fade Photoshop action to give it a feel more in keeping with the vintage of the wagon. Overall maybe I just think the photo is a little boring, and no amount of editing can fix that but I'm still glad I played with it.
