I kept these original as it was focused on reality and needed to look realistic

AND THE SECOND ONE: Raw 2

Final 2

Here is how I changed the photograph and why I changed these because I wanted to focus on her

as she is the main character and her eyes are sad, which tells her story, I made her face brighter and the background dull and dark to make the central focus on her

AND THE THIRD ONE: Raw 3 Final 3

Here is how I changed the photograph and why

I kept these original as it was focused on reality and needed to look realistic, to focus on the couple and their situation.
