Fixing your dull pictures

                         

 
I pass mountains after mountains on my commute to work and then back home.  I do live in a very beautiful part of the world. 



 
 
These mountains are very far away, I wasn't sure how they would turn out so I did a lot of playing around in the different effects on Picmonkey online editing.  First I went into exposure and brought out the highlights and the shadows.  It was looking kinda plain.
 
 
After that I then went into sharpness in the Basic Edits and incressed the sharpness.  I don't always use clarity, it makes my pictures look a little too dark.  Then I went into Touch up and used a little mascara to bring out the darker lines.  After that I started looking for something, in Effects, to bring out the color without over doing it.  I found film stock and went with reala, it brought out the darkness of the shadows
