    For this picture, as I was onto beginning of learning lightroom, I opted for minimal editing. Adjusted the lighting and basic colors. Gave a little bit texture and details. That's all I did, and the difference says it all. Here are the details.

2. Playing with light and shadows:

    Playing with light is my most favourite when it comes to lightroom. Here are some of my lightroom edits along with their details which I used to transform basic colors to dramatic ones.

    Again, in this picture, I have not at all changed colors. Just experimented with lighting and that's how it changed the picture drastically. Along with it, I have applied Vintage Profile.

    Here is another picture with similar editing.    The best part of lightroom is that we can create presets according to our needs, due to which most of the editing effort is reduced. Once created, we can apply them to similar pictures and our new picture is ready, with zero extra efforts!

    For this technique, after basic editing, all you have to do is to put saturation level of all other colors except your focused color to zero. Adjust shades, saturation and luminescence of your desired color to get most of it.

    Here is another example. In this below example, first I have edited a bit using Snapseed for black and white effect and then used lightroom for enhancement of eye color.
