Photos taken and edited part 4

For this photo I wanted to convey the true rock spirit of rebellion and attitude therefore i asked my model to give an offensive gesture to the camera. This sentiment is supported by the models costume- the leopard print dress bears connotations of wildness and the leather jacket is often associated with the rock culture a an icon of a disregard for rules and morals.
1) 'Crop' - i decided to crop the right side of the photo so that I could get rid of the door handle.
2)'Enhance -> auto levels' - the program automatically corrects average issues of the level of contast/lightness and tonal so I don't need to worry about it.
3) 'Enhance -> auto contrast'- the program automatically fixes the contrast levels so i don't need to worry about it.
4) 'Enhance -> Adjust lighting -> shadow/highlights'- I slightly increased the light and the dark tones to make the the image more clearer with better lighting/tones.
5) 'Adjustment layer (hue/saturation)-> photo filter x3- I adjusted the colour of the image giving it slight orange, black and yellow/green hues to make the location and the model look visually more appealing fixing the quality of the skin tone giving it an overexposed look.
6) 'Burn tool' - I used the tool to darken the models eyelashes and eyeliner to bring attention to her eyes emphasising her challenging/questioning stare. I darkened the models roots to support the overexposed effect.
7) 'Blur tool' - I used the tool to smooth out the models skin to fix any blemishes or textures that were an issue.
