Mini-PSD #10 [uploaded on 15th Mar 2010]
In addition to a large increase in both contrast and saturation (Curves, Channel Mixer, and Hue/Saturation) the most significant change that was made to this image was the flip in orientation: transforming this dull, flat shot of a puddle into an image with considerably more impact.

Mini-PSD #6 [uploaded on 15th Feb 2010]
This image was post-produced in Lab Color mode using four curves to adjust both the tonal balance and colour balance of different areas of the image. Additionally, the two figures were moved from the middle of the image towards the right-hand edge: correcting the compositional imbalance of the original shot.

Mini-PSD #5 [uploaded on 8th Feb 2010]
This reflection of Blackpool Tower, taken on Blackpool beach in the UK, started out as a rather grey, flat original. With a large increase in both contrast and saturation though, I was able to produce a much more striking image. It was adjusted using six Curves adjustment layers, one Channel Mixer layer, one Selective Color adjustment, and one Hue/Saturation adjustment.
