image is clear and the colours are more sharp.

18. Manipulated image with appropriate caption:

19. Explain the changes you made to the image and explain why you made
those changes:
The first change I made was changing the brightness, I made the image darker
this made the colours stand out against each other. I have chosen to do this
because I think that it makes the colours look brighter and makes them stand
out more and look much nicer against a darker background. After this I used
the levels tool to change the look of the image further, this made the colours
stand out more and made them brighter as I think this makes my image look
more interesting.
