Main image on the magazine...

The image on the magazine was too much like a poster image, as you can see below.

So today i set about changing this. To begin with i increased the saturation, which made the image look far to orange and fake. Take a look...

I had a play around with the effects on photoshop, and in the end i came up with this...

Which i still didnt like. I thought the image looked too orange/pink still and the 'wind' effect as its called just makes the image look a bit strange.

After removing the wind effect, i made the image both colder and darker. I finished up with this...

This is the image as i will use it in the final magazine now. I think it words better as a magazine main image and doesnt jump out and detract away from the other features so much.
