If you like the style have a look at VSCOcam for iPhone (and possibly other platforms) that has some cool filters and editing options for achieving this sort of look.
As for the photo, it's okay but has all the telltales of being a snapshot with a quick edit.
Background is pretty bland and you have a garden hose in the shot.
I'd edit out some of the sky reflecting on the car as it's all a bit too blue.
I'm guessing you manually blurred the background? Something about the DOF looks off to me. For one thing the hedge is in focus through the rear screen.
It's rarely easy to achieve a convincing shallow DOF in post.
Oh, and Lightroom doesn't do anything Photoshop doesn't, in terms of editing.
:lol: Your too keen eyed
I have afterlight on my iphone and that achieves similar results!
Picture was quick yes i only did it to test this editing effect! Will go out and try and get some better pictures at some point
Yes i manually blurred the bg :lol:
Thanks for all that though
