Glasses & Bottles
I edited the brightness, contrast and saturation for all the pictures where the light has reflected on the glasses and bottles. For the wine bottles with one glass, I wanted to focus on the dust of the bottles, so I zoomed in to get that specific detail. I chose the snowflake background for two of these pictures because it matches the decoration and glasses I've placed and it makes the pictures stand out with great detail. Every time I look at these pictures, I always think that it's Christmas and that we are celebrating a new year with a wonderful surprise.
Patterns
For the flowers, I've increased the saturation to 9, the contrast to 12 and the brightness to 5. For the shoes, I've increased the contrast to 10, the saturation to 25, and the brightness too. At first, there was some stains on the shoes, so I've used the pick tool to find the same color as the grey part of the shoe to replace some of the stains with the grey color. In the original picture, the skin was too light, so I edited the skin to make it a little bit darker. For the colored paper, I've only adjusted the brightness to make the colors more colorful. All three of these pictures remind of spring season because of the beautiful colors that's been used and how it was edited.
Initials in name
For the letter "A" with the roses on it, I increased the brightness and put the saturation up, so the white background can match the letter's color. For the letter "V", I increased the contrast to 30 and saturation to 10. At first, the blue color was too light, so I made the blue a bit darker for the "V" stand out in the middle. For the other letter "A" with the pink background, I only increased the saturation to 25, so that the "A" can be bolder with the dark color that's been used. My favorite is the letter "A" with the roses on it because it's simple and has simple colors.
hands
For the wax hand picture, I've increased the saturation to 12, the contrast to 14 and the brightness just by a little. For the holding hands photo, at first, the hands skin was too light to see, so I edited the saturation to 30, and contrast to 25. Then, I darkened up the shadows of the hands. For the keyboard hand photo, I edited the saturation to 10, increased the contrast to 5, and decreased the brightness to focus on the hands more. I like the keyboard hands the most because it represents how hard everyone one of us work as hard as we can to succeed in our life.

For the tree picture, I've decreased the brightness to -11, increased the saturation to 10 and the contrast to 6. I focused mostly on the sky if it would match the darkness of the tree. For the Canadian leaf picture, I increased the saturation to 20 and the brightness to 20 too. I chose this picture because of the colors that were on it and to know that all the nature around makes us smile. For the third picture, I mainly focused on the sky as well to bring out the color of the sky, which I only edited the saturation to 20.

Little girl (elements of exposure)
Focused on the little girl more than the background. So, blurred out the background and focused on the girl. Tried to get a clear picture of the pinwheel while the picture was moving, as well as the girl too. Made the brightness a little bit bright to look like a sunny day to go to the park.
