•The movement in the picture is shown by the various positions on the photograph.

•The red clothes in the photograph show more visibility.

•The photograph on the left was edited on Photoshop.•I decreased the exposure levels so that the background would darken to become completely black like in Wadman photographs.

•I increased the vibrancy levels in the picture so the red clothes would appear more radiant and visible.

•The movement blurs are also more clearly shown.

•The movement trails are more easily visible and there are varying levels of contrast in the photo using the red clothing.
