Option 1: Challenge yourself to take more photos around a theme and then create a way to organize and share your photographs. Decide what your theme will be and then be able to explain how your photos fit into your theme.
​
Option 2: Challenge yourself edit some of your photos in Photoshop (Check out this tutorial to help you get started: click here for the video tutorial ). You can also use a different Photo Editing Website (there are lots of free ones out there).
