SMAP 195 - My Attempt At Editing A Past SMAP Entry

Hello Feathered Friends Community. Let's welcome Round 195 of the Show Me A Photo or SMAP Contest hosted by @nelinoeva. The link to the contest can be found here.

The theme for this week is:

EDIT

Editing pictures with my phone is usually relegated to making close ups of the subjects. That I know quite well to do as a lot of times a macro or crop of the subject is called for, especially in contests like SMAP. Sometimes I do lighting adjustments to enhance the photo but that's about it. My knowledge of photo editing beyond this is next to or almost zero. Zip. That's why, when this theme was announced, I thought maybe choosing "MALE" would have been better hahaha.

But they say necessity is the father of experiments though I don't know who said this or if anyone did say this. I'm just guessing actually. But it is true in this case because I was forced to learn more about the built-in editing features of my cell phone. And I found out there are some cool stuff one can do with them.

Here are some swans taken at Lake Leman in Switzerland when my daughter visited Geneva.

This is an editing tool called "Style" in my phone and the option is Line Art. The photo below is the original.

Then another option named Oil Painting.

Actual photo is shown below.

But the best option I found is the Pastel. See below. This is also my entry to this Round.

The actual photo is shown below.

Well, I guess I have SMAP to thank for in furthering my limited know-how in editing photos. Thank you @nelinoeva 😊

And that's all folks. Stay safe and may you all have a blessed Sunday.
