I used the conte crayon filter to make this hunting shack seem a little older than it is.

I used the paint brush with a very mild opacity to darken the water around the loons and then switched forground colors to white and lightened the loons themselves very slightly. The original picture seemed washed out by the glare of the water. The darkened one helps a little, I think the loons are still hard to see.

My daughter jumping off of a dock a few years ago. I again used the brush tool to darken the SUV and the trees in the background. I also darkened the dock and her skin and hair a little. I switched to white and lightened the shadows on her skin.
