Relaxing Sunday Creative Edit in Lightroom

We start out by looking at the photo and determining what's good, bad, what we like, and what we don't. We then make some basic edits to the photo, such as adjusting the exposure, highlights, shadows, whites, and blacks. We then create a mask to separate the background from the subject.
We use the mask to blur the background using the texture, clarity, and dehaze sliders.
We create another mask to select the subject and increase the exposure just on her.
We compare the before and after photos and are happy with the improvement.

It is important to carefully consider the photo before making any edits.
Basic edits can make a big difference in the overall look of a photo.
Masks can be used to isolate different parts of a photo and apply different edits to each part.
Lightroom is a great tool for editing photos, but it is limited in what it can do.
