For this portion of Unit 3, we were to take a well-composed outdoor picture and enhance it by making the colors "pop". In the below photo, I was standing in the tee box on the fifth hole, "Desert", at the Royal Portrush Golf Club in Portrush, Northern Ireland. All of the holes on the golf course provided similar photo ops, due to the links-style setting (a very natural, coastal dunes, rolling environment)

After importing this to PhotoShop, I made a few simple adjustments to enhance the vibrancy of the colors, the lighting, and the scope of the image as follows:
- An increase in the saturation across the picture
- A decrease in the lightness of the photo across the picture
- An increase in vibrancy across the picture
- A small cropping of the tee box from the bottom of the photo
Below, you can see the enhanced version of the picture. I feel it really helps to bring out all the different "greens" that they are known for in Ireland, without appearing manufactured. Really. It is that green over there, everywhere.
