With Charlotte Reeves

Fernanda was the winner of the April 2022 Edit My Photo challenge in the Unleashed Education community.

As the winner of the challenge, Fernanda submitted this image of this super cute little senior dog amongst the yellow daisies. In this edit, I’m going to brighten up the image overall, do an eye swap, transplant some daisies and create a nice balanced crop.
