Old Irish Watering Can in Four Edits and Original

An old watering can hangs on the wall in the garden shed at Kylemore Abbey in Galway Ireland. Though the Abbey operates in the modern world, parts of the past are preserved for guests to see.

@bxlphabet took this photo while on a pilgrimage to Ireland with his youth group from church. It caught my eye while I was looking for photos to process for his blog. I like the subject, composition and light, so I got it into Canva to see how I could "improve" it.

Her are the four edits I liked the best.

This is the "Festive" edit and the one I usually use. I like how it brings out green in the background and defines the othher implements. I had to tweak if further by lowering the brightness. I'm not so sure about the blue tones though.

The "Summer" edit washes out the images, brings out the green and stays very bright. I did not change this edit from what Canva set.

The "Street" edit goes very monochrome,

Almost exactly like the real "monochrome" edit does. This is good to know since both of us have been posting to the monomad tag each day. Now I will have another quick recource to take the color of of shots we enter to that contest.

And here we are, straight out of the camera. This is how it caught my eye in the first place.

What do you think? Do you like one of the edits or is the original more to your liking? I would love to know how you work with your photo editing and which effects you go for, so please leave a comment down below!
