What worked well? - Using a low aperture and zooming in resulted in a more prominent subject. How did you edit your image? - For both images, which had been at an angle, I rotated them using rulers as a guide and cropped the excess black border that was present. Afterward, I used the auto feature of the camera raw filter and further adjusted the saturation, vibrance, and shadow to make the dull "Giants" logo on Snoopy's shirt appear more orange.
