Crop Levels Sharpen Burn
Edited by:rychousmama Gold Star Critiquer/Gold Star Workshop Editor [C: 1168 W: 156 N: 58] (228)

First I cropped the shot of the left and barely off the top (just a few pixels). Then I adjusted levels to darken the darkest tones a little bit since the colors and tones looked slightly washed-out (they were a bit too bright). Then sharpened edges one notch. Finally, used the burn tool in a large brush size, set on "shadows" and very lightly burned the lightest part of the upper right corner so that it wasn't too bright. Then added the black frame. Hope you like it!
