Final:

My concept was something along the lines of “never forgotten” or “never forget”.Reason being, all of the pictures and objects used in this project all represented time in their own way. The cross read, “We love and miss you mom,” and then the gravestone was from way back in 18-1900s. The fence was also just like the barrier. In this project, one of the first changes I made was removing the backgrounds/cropping out my photos with the cropping tool and the magic wand tool so that I could apply them to the photo I decided to use as my background. One of the first things I cropped was my sunflower. Since it had a couple other flowers in the back, I had to eliminate that.Then, I did the same thing to the cross and deleted the snow in the background. Lastly, I deleted everything that was beyond the fence in the picture, but for this one, I had to erase a little on my own. Next, I edited my backround with the tools: curves, vibrance, hue/saturation and then brightness. I used the hue/saturation to make a red/pink color that, in the end along with the other tools, I created an almost poster/album cover look. After that, I added all the other layers onto the background. Starting with the cross, following with the flowers. I covered part of the cross with the flower because I don't like how fake the flowers that had already been there looked. Then, I attached the fence to the foreground of the picture to make it appear that the gravestone was behind the fence. Then, once it was all together, I edited the picture as one.The first thing I edited was the cross and I used the burn tool to make a shadow that would reflect on the fence and middleground. Next, I edited the fence. I used the exposure tool to darken the fence so it would match the vibe of the project. Lastly, I edited the flowers to try and make them look less fake, which I wasn't to successful with seeing that they were fake flowers in the first place.
