In this photo, I applied the brightness and contrast firstly, And then i used the curve tool to make the photo stands out and looks brighter. Thirdly, I used photo filer to make the leaves looks more green.The texture of the photo looks more realistic. At the end , i used brush tool to eliminate the layers on the sky so as to make bigger contrast for the photo.
Actually I can only see that the photo gets brighter than before, may be you should use the curves layer to work on the green and the sky.
Your photos look beautiful. However I think there is a bit to much going on. The amounts of branches in the images almost feels to overwhelming. Almost
This photo has a nice focus point but still there is too much going on. It doesn’t have enough negative space to it.
